The album was recorded at Neil Finn's Roundhead Studios in Auckland, and featured Finn on backing vocals on two tracks, "18th Day" and "C2006P1 (Make Yourself at Home)".
The title is drawn from a line in the Allen Curnow poem "The Skeleton of the Great Moa in the Canterbury Museum, Christchurch":
"Not I, some child, born in a marvellous year,
Will learn the trick of standing upright here."
"Bathe in the River" had appeared originally on the soundtrack to the film No. 2, where it had been sung by Hollie Smith. The song won the APRA Silver Scroll in 2006. The closing track, "The Colossus of Roadies", is from a stage show McGlashan worked on with Toa Fraser, director of No. 2.
