The album was recorded almost exclusively by Garbus on a dictation machine and mixed with a shareware assembling program. Speaking to Charlotte Richardson Andrews of The Guardian, she noted her instrumental limitations and how they led to a dependence on percussion: "I had no bass – literally, I didn't own one – so the drums had to be big."
