Tracked live-to-tape at Bearded Cat Productions in Mystic, Connecticut, Where I Wanna Be was recorded over the course of two days. With a few very small exceptions, what you’ll hear on the album are complete live takes.

The nature of recording with analog equipment is that the album was mixed live by engineer Brad Bensko, which sped up the recording process and minimized the number of decisions necessary in post-production. The bare-bones nature of the recording captures the warm essence of Sadie’s live performance.
