The self-titled record featured instrumental performances by Dawes' Griffin Goldsmith and Wylie Gelber, Christian Lee Hutson, Bright Eyes' Nate Walcott, Deadfingers' Taylor Hollingsworth, Now It's Overhead's Andy LeMaster, Yeah Yeah Yeahs's Nick Zinner, and Tilly and the Wall's Nick White, among others.
