Noon and Eternity is a studio album by experimental rock collective To Live and Shave in L.A., released on October 31, 2006.[6] The album features production by Andrew W.K.

Background

Group leader Tom Smith commented on the making of the album: "We tracked the album in 2004 at Sonic Youth's studio in New York. Andrew WK played electronic drums. Thurston played guitar. Rat and Don Fleming played. Ben was there. I had to write the material in two days. My son came back from Iraq... He's fairly left-leaning, but he wanted a Hemingway adventure. I have a lot of love for my son, so a lot of those songs stemmed from revulsion to the Bush war machine. But tying something to a political moment can be suicidal for an artwork's longevity. So rather than making those political connotations overt, I made them universal. I made it about the love of my son, who had been changed by his experience."[1]
