The album was produced by Bruce Witkin and Ryan Dorn, who were introduced to Stephen Jones, Babybird's frontman, by Depp.[6][9] The album also features the actor Stephen Graham.[10] The video's plot is an interpretation of the short story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" by Ambrose Bierce.[citation needed]
