Production

The album was made possible by a grant from the New Zealand Arts Council.[6]

Critical reception

Template:Album ratings Trouser Press called the album "unpretentious but insidiously great."[7] Exclaim! wrote that "the songs that endure are acoustically strummed with simple arrangements."[8] The Chicago Tribune labeled it "a Sgt. Pepper of low-tech innovation."[9] Philadelphia Weekly noted that "Weeville also underscores just how profoundly the Kiwi scene affected America's Elephant 6 collective, which took that affinity for pretty/ugly experimentation to dizzying heights."[10] The Winnipeg Sun deemed the band "lo-fi psych-pop pioneers."[11]
