Band Notes: 

These tracks were recorded at home on 4-tracks in preparation for what was intended to be Writ on Water’s second release for Blonde Vinyl, to be titled The Greyest Day. After several years had passed and numerous requests, and with the assistance of Chris Nandor, these demos were cleaned up to the greatest extent possible and made available via mp3.com in 1999. Some of these songs had been performed live, but they did not receive proper studio recording at the time. A studio version of this album was eventually recorded and released in 2017.

From The Liner Notes: 

These recordings consist of 4-track demos in preparation for what was intended to be our second Blonde Vinyl album, The Greyest Day. These recordings were not made with the intention of being released commercially, and we hope that you will forgive the crackles and hiss. Special thanks to Pudge for all of his help in realizing this project.
