The album begins with the track “1,000 Years Ago,” inspired by a home video of a trip to China in the ’90s—filmed by an unknown person and serendipitously acquired by VIDEOTAPEMUSIC—featuring the local music, scenery, and the filmmaker’s musings captured on film. It continues with the track “Moonlight Cha Cha,” which embodies the band’s signature oriental-flavored cha-cha-cha style “Moonlight Cha Cha”; a cover of Yo La Tengo’s “Our Way to Fall” sung by mmm; the Korean Peninsula folk song “Heung Taryeong” performed by Lee Heemoon, a singer of Gyeonggi folk songs who divides his time between Japan and South Korea; and “The Cuckoo Orchestra of 1990”—a staple of their early repertoire that features a trans-temporal ensemble performance created by sampling a home video from their kindergarten days in which they play the “Cuckoo Waltz” on a keyboard harmonica. The album contains a total of eight tracks. The album was mixed by Toshihiko Kasai, mastered and cut by Dave Cooley, and the cover art was created by Dohee Kwon, a Korean artist based in Thailand.
