Although multi-instrumentalist Cake played various instruments and performed vocals on the album,[1] other musicians and singers on the album include Anna Coddington, Neil Finn and Tim Finn.[2] Geoff Maddock and Joel Wilton of Cake's short-lived earlier band and Flying Nun phenomenon Bressa Creeting Cake, now of Goldenhorse, also appear on the album.[3]
McWilliams wrote and recorded many of the songs on the album in a studio on Gore Street - a red-light area in Auckland.[4][5] According to a biography of Cake, the album was influenced by this environment, including "incessant street brawls, strip club pop, and Doobie Brothers hits played by the covers band in the 24-hour bar downstairs."[5] The album includes instrumental tracks such as "Airshow" and "You're Watching Me", and vocal tracks such as "Secret Girl" described by McWilliams as a comedy song that 'came out serious'.[1]
