Produced by their longtime collaborator Alec Spiegelman (Okkervil River, Kevin Morby, Pokey LaFarge), Euphoric Ouroboric is David Wax Museum's eighth full-length record and the first of several made in their home studio during the pandemic.

Euphoric Ouroboric is the band’s first foray into the world of home recording and remote production, a significant departure after thirteen years of making studio records. The album's title captures the emotion and experience of diving headfirst into this new way of recording, spending hour upon hour “in a jubilant dialogue with the self,” as David puts it. He elaborates, “‘Ouroboric’ comes from the mythological ouroboros snake that eats its own tail. I often felt like there was something self-referential and all-consuming about learning to record and edit myself. But, at the same time, I was having such a blast rediscovering my love for being ‘in the studio.’ So I wanted to celebrate this beautiful, weird feeling, hence, Euphoric Ouroboric.”

The album features contributions from special guests John Hadfield (Yo-Yo Ma, the Saturday Night Live band), Anthony da Costa (Sarah Jarosz, Joy Williams), Emily Hope Price (D’Angelo, Sting), and Philip Mayer (The Band’s Visit, Natalie Merchant), alongside David Wax Museum mainstays Danilo Henriquez (trumpet, drumkit) and David’s cousin and former Wax Museum member Jordan Wax (accordion).
