“Dawn of a New Error” marks the return of James Mastro front and center as singer and songwriter. Produced by Tony Shanahan, best known as Patti Smith’s bassist, co-producer and musical collaborator, (having earned 4 Grammy nominations during his tenure) at Hobo Sound, the songs were recorded over a ten-year span, whenever Mastro and Shanahan found time to get together between his work with Patti Smith and Mastro's work with Ian Hunter and other projects.  Various, noteworthy drummers played on the record, including the late Louie Appel (Southside Johnny), Brian Griffin (Brandi Carlile, Black Crowes), Steve Goulding (The Mekons, Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe), and Bill Dubrow (Yoko Ono, Linda Thompson). The album was recorded and mixed by Grammy nominee James Frazee (Patti Smith, Sharon Van Etten, Marshall Crenshaw), and mastered by legendary Greg Calbi.
