Buildings Breeding multi-instrumentalist Chris Larsen started this project as a complete farce. He created a MySpace page for a fictional Chicago quartet, creating numerous songs on his own for Melanie Glover, who was overseas at the time. Fascinated by the tunes, Glover accompanied the recordings with a tambourine. Larsen found her rhythmic flair and bought her a drum set. Ever since moving from fiction to fact, this Davis, CA quartet has grabbed everyone's attention, including the owner of Mushpot Records, who chose this recording to be her label's first release. Buildings Breeding create dynamic soundscapes that frequently toy with depth and richness. Much like its melodic predecessors, the band controls emotional return with impressive accuracy. It's easy to see why this once-fake act is now a reality-- Buildings Breeding was just too good to remain in the land of make believe!

Buildings Breeding began as a fake band that Chris Larsen made up on Myspace. The fake profile said the band was a four-some from Chicago, Illinois. Larsen saw it as a "college project" where he played all the instruments on songs that he originally wrote for Melanie Glover who was overseas at the time. Glover started to play the tambourine to the recordings and Larsen noticed her propensity for rhythm, so he bought her drums. Evan Hart and Jesse Miller joined in April 2006.
