"Trudging Through Deep Snow" sample created by Aaron Sholes and Neta Smollack.

The ending sample used in "The Hawthorne Passage" is an excerpt taken from the film Fando y Lis by Alejandro Jodorowsky. The film itself is based on the play Fando y Lis by Spanish Theatre of the Absurd author Fernando Arrabal.

"...and the Great Cold Death of the Earth" contains lyrics adapted from Earth Making, a Cherokee folk tale.

The cover art is a picture of the Thompson Elk sculpture in Portland, Oregon.
