koperweis met jonny davy (of job for a cowboy) while on a tour with animosity, and invited him to join the band. they started working on material that would become "dementia/dyslexia". because koperweis was living in san francisco while davy was living in phoenix, arizona, they sent demos to each other via internet, before grouping out again in koperweis' studio to finish the recording. "dementia/dyslexia" was released in 2010 and received mostly positive reviews.
