Between the winter and summer months of 1998-99, Seattle band Screaming Trees recorded their last batch of songs before disbanding in June of 2000. Those final sessions, produced by Trees drummer Barrett Martin, feature guest appearances by REM’s Peter Buck and QOTSA/Trees guitarist Josh Homme. The album was recently mixed by the band’s longtime friend, Jack Endino, and was released on Barrett’s label, Sunyata Records. The album can be heard in full streaming audio by clinking on the Sunyata Records link. You can purchase the digipak CD there, and there is also a link to I-Tunes if you would like to download the album.
