These Songs Are Cursed was written and rehearsed in a tiny basement practice space in Halifax and recorded in a little basement studio in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia - The studio session was a step-up from their first release "Elements of an Incomplete Map", a 10-song EP, yes they called it an EP, which was a 4-track recording with punch-ins and punch-ups released in 1998. Following the Eric's Trip/Sloan formula, popular at the time in Halifax, with four singers/songwriters the material was flowing and "cursed" could have easily been a double album with hits like "We've Got It Sussed" and "In-Scituate" left on the cutting room floor. But the 13 songs and four interstitials that made the cut were made purely from the energy of wanting to be in a band, wanting to tour, and wanting to write songs together.
