Pontiak are three brothers from mountainous rural Virginia. Performing in other bands in the US, Europe and the United Kingdom, they had never formally played together until cutting an EP in early 2005. The EP, White Buffalo, won praises for its "nervy, nighttime" and "low slung" music.

By 2006, Pontiak had written the material for their new album. The songs were recorded in a cabin north of Charlottesville, Virginia with the help of critically acclaimed London engineer and producer Ricky M. The new album will be released at the beginning of their national tour in September.
