Acacia and Lucky, recorded and produced 4 songs between them with Tape Op editor and founder, Larry Crane at
Jackpot! Recording Studio in Portland, Oregon. Larry Crane may be best known for recording Elliott Smith's "Miss Misery", which appears in the Gus Van Sant directed film, Good Will Hunting, written by Academy Award winners for Original Screeplay, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Elliott performed the song live at The Oscars in 1998 when it was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song, but lost to Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic.
