Recorded entirely at Viola's home studio, The American Egypt is a 10-song, 43-minute whirlwind of truth and melody. Aside from cameos by Rilo Kiley's Jason Boesel, Dawes' Griff Goldsmith, Vulfpeck's Theo Katzman, and James Taylor keyboardist Larry Goldings, everything you hear on the album was performed by Viola, who also produced and mixed it.
