Background
In late 2002 the band would sign to Universal Records and its imprint label Strummer Recordings, after touring in support of their EP Ceci n'est pas recover.
Writing and production
This May Be the Year I Disappear was recorded in summer of 2003 at World War 4 in Austin, Texas with producer Rory Phillips originally as demos, later re-mixed by Andy Wallace in Los Angeles, California. The band initially started production on the album with producer Don Gilmore (Linkin Park, Good Charlotte) at NRG Studios in Los Angeles, California. Production on the album would come to an abrupt end and the session would be scrapped after rough mixes were submitted to the label. The band would then retreat back to World War 4 in Austin, re-mixing some of the original album demos as well as recording a few new tracks which would make the album cut. (Some of the unused material would later end up on the 2011 release "Challenger".)
