It was executed in early summer of 2006 entirely by Jakob Battick in his garage in Bangor, ME. It is most notable for it's heavy Neutral Milk Hotel references, both lyrically and vocally, and for it's bizarre instrumentation (vocals are delivered through toilet paper tubes, broken snare drums are used as bass drums, dollar store dinner trays are used for general percussion, etc.). For all intents and purposes, this is the FIRST 1800s Sea Monster recording worth anyone's time, if any are indeed worth anyone's time at all.
Vocals are layered heavily, often out of key or off-pitch, creating an extremely amateurish aesthetic slightly reminiscent of Beat Happening or The Shaggs and the like. Lyrics revolve around fantasy lands and characters present only in the songwriters' imagination, mostly borne out of introversion and loneliness.
Consequently, the creative success of this record was what enabled 1800s Sea Monster to take on other players beyond Battick. It served as a tool of conversion to enlist musicians into the projects' ranks.
It should also be noted that everyone in the whole neighborhood could most likely hear Battick singing, alone and dusty, into his four-track at all hours of the two days it took to record these tracks.
