Background

From 1989 to 1996, Baby Animals toured and promoted music from their two ARIA Award-winning studio albums. In 1996, the band broke up and lead singer Suze DeMarchi went solo and raised a family. In 2005, Liberation Records asked if Baby Animals would record an acoustic album, to which DeMarchi said repeatedly 'No'. However, in March 2007, DeMarchi found herself (with bandmates Frank Celenza, Dave Leslie and Eddie Parise) in producer Justin Stanley's backyard recording studio, making an acoustic record.^[3]

Commercially released in 2008, the finished album features acoustic renditions of six tracks from the band's 1991 self titled debut album, one track ("Don't Tell Me What To Do") from 1993's Shaved And Dangerous album, two tracks from DeMarchi's 1999 solo album Telelove ("Satellite" and "Submarine"), and two new tracks, "Stitch" and "U Still Need Me".
