Firewater Pinhole Camera was recorded by Mike Thomspon in Chicago, Illinois to 8-tracks/1/4" tape in a friends borrowed basement (Katie C. then D.) and Thompson's basement studio/bedroom over November 2007 to June 2008. Both Elvis and the Beatles were present for the initial session in the form of felines. One was preferred over other the other. The album was mixed by Thompson at Pragma Studios in July and Mastered by Carl Saff at Saff Mastering.
