Additional Production and Recording from Jackson Rodriguez and Robert Allen

All songs written, recorded, produced, mixed, and mastered by Levi Thomas

Special thanks to Josiah Macevicius (Track 1), Raegan Beranek (Track 2), and Marco Valenzuela (Track 3) for being part of the recording process, Jake Blair and Josh Raymond for help with Video, Storyboarding, Promotion, and Media, Robert Allen (Tracks 1-3) for helping me redo this project from the ground up on 3 different occasions, as well as pouring you time into the early foundations of this project, Jackson Rodriguez (Tracks 1-3) for being my second set of ears and ideas, being my primary man in the chair, and teaching me to grow beyond the music and into the media and presentation of it, Alex Andrade for continuing to push me towards growing both musically and as a human from the sidelines, to all the friends who have helped proof this project before release, and lastly to my family, for putting up with the noise.

For my brother, Elijah, for pushing me to work towards something beyond myself since the beginning, for following and watching from the sidelines as I’ve grown, and for proving that there are people out there who will listen. Despite this project loosing its roots, you have helped grown bigger ones than I could’ve ever imagine. Love you.
