Produced by Frankie Figiomeni and Feurd Moore of The Elwins and mixed by JUNO award winner Jay Dufour and producer Derek Hoffman of Fox Sounds Studios, Dwayne Gretzky darlings Meg Contini and Jill Harris contribute to backing vocals.

“Essentially the story begins when I was flipping around the internet one day and I saw a picture of a front page article for one of those trash magazines. The headline of the paper read “I’m in love with 3ft statue of Adonis – but we won’t wed…I’d cheat with other statues”. Something about that headline was so funny and so profoundly sad, thinking of this woman coming home at night from work and sharing her feelings and her problems with this marble statue.” – Ron the Baptist
