To record the album the band :, : sequestered themselves in the Upstate New York confines of : :' Marcata Recording and worked with acclaimed producer, Kevin S.

Nods to the past are : :' present but Herzog is by all means in the here and now. ': ,: :, : Boys is as catchy as it is diverse, inventive as it is informed, : :' melodic as it is sonic, and enjoyable as it is enrapturing.
