The album is written almost like children's music, using themes such as backpacks, elves and pirates. The overall sound seems to pay homage to the sound of an off-key circus calliope. Her range of instruments include a sitar, accordion, toy piano, and ukulele. Les Claypool produces and provides bass, drums and percussion.[2]
