Bevel is the solo project of
Drunk guitarist Via Nuon. The delicate folk of
Bevel's debut,
Turn the Furnace On, was released in 2000. Via Nuon collaborated with members of
Boxhead Ensemble,
Edith Frost,
Shannon Wright, and others on
Bevel's 2002 folk/alt-country record,

Bevel decided work new tracks and rework old tracks for an EP release in 2004.
