This album was recorded at powerboi Studio in London, Ontario, Canada on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, Lūnaapéewak, and Attawandaron. Additional guitars on Breakfast in a Record Store were recorded during a Local Artist Residency at the Grand Theatre in Kingston, Ontario, Canada on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, and the Huron-Wendat. Nameless Friends thinks the imperialist and colonial forces that have disrupted the indigenous sovereignty and stewardship of this land are full of shit and must give #LandBack. We stand in solidarity with the original nations of this land, and commit to ongoing, anti-racist practices and civic action that refuse to deny the genocide that is still happening here. We hold ourselves, our communities, and the ‘Canadian’ government responsible for tangible, actionable, truth and reconciliation. Get wrecked, Chuck.

Special thanks to our Number Fives, Eran Foster and Emma Whale, for your relentless senses of style and humour. To Blue, for being the only other drummer we’ve loved at first sight; to Nathan, for getting the vision; and to Dave, for stepping in to fill neglected shoes. Andrew and Josh, we thank sky daddy above for giving us your trustworthy, daring, collaboration. Darcy, it was the privilege of our careers to work with, and learn from, you. Thanks to Sara for encouraging us, Eric for enabling us, and Jacques for being the only wise adult in the room at 2am. Declan, Richard, Gibson, and the rest of the film team, working with y’all was vital inspiration to get ‘er over the finish line. Thanks to Ryan and Luke at the Grand for mood lighting, microphone babysitting, and good-natured ear plug-wearing. Extra special thanks to Dougie Wilts for his generous patronage marketing this thing, to Melissa and Aria for being both savvy and unhinged fans, and to Jay Hodgson and Robert Toft for their endorsement and political cover. To Tasha, Sean, and Augustina, for being the friends we made along the way. To Dolly, for being everything. To our families, for love and stuff. And to you, for giving our hysterical pussy shit a chance to move you.
