The album was mixed by Matthew Ellard, who has worked with Elliott Smith, Tayna Donelly, Mike Watt, Billy Bragg/Wilco, and Jesse Malin.
In addition to garnering outstanding national reviews in publications, such as CMJ, Amplifier, The Big Takeover, Magnet, The Boston Globe, and the All Music Guide, The Douglas Fir was also recognized as the Best Local New Act in the Boston Phoenix Best Music Poll.
