Some Small Things You Can't Defend is a collection of acoustic demos of songs from the Be Still Please album, plus a couple covers and songs that didn't make the album, or just weren't written in time. All recorded at home or at Room 8 (a small office over a great bar) in Carrboro, except "Boy From School" recorded at Pox Studios. Mac played everything, mastered by Zeno Gill at Pox.
