 Other contributors to the album included Edward Yazijian from Kustomized and Jeff Goddard from Karate, both rock bands hailing from Boston, MA.The title of the album resulted from "a slip of the tongue," as Zedek states, she "was telling someone [she had] had a 'near life experience,' but meant to say near death experience.Chris [Brokaw] was cracking up at the imagery of that."
