The album contains thirteen self composed tracks, including the instrumental title song and several love songs to Hitchcock s partner Michele Noach. One of these, One L makes reference to the spelling of her name, whilst Ant Corridor was written around one of Noach s off hand comments. Another instrumental, The Wolf House , is a guitar based composition drawing on the repeating figures heard in the coda of You Remind Me of You . Despite being predominantly an acoustic set, several of these songs are up tempo, and the album as a whole lacks Hitchcock s usual sense of minute observation. It comes packaged with a full colour booklet containing several of Noach s photographic portraits of Hitchcock. The album features a guest appearance by multi instrumentalist producer Jon Brion on the track You Remind Me of You.
