The first full length album released by Willy Mason, Where the Humans Eat was recorded in Catskill, New York in early May of 2004. Songs were mostly recorded live, with Mason singing and playing guitar (adding cello, accordion, and vibraphone in the studio), and with his younger brother Sam on drums. Mason wanted to capture the atmosphere of a live performance in the recordings, and tried to avoid re-recording songs: “I made a rule that we couldn’t record any of the songs in more than three takes. It allows you to make mistakes and accept those mistakes. Listening back, sometimes the wrong notes are the best parts of the song, the imperfections are what keeps it spontaneous and live-feeling."

Singles from the album ("Oxygen" and "So Long") charted on the UK Singles Chart, and the album reached #38 on the UK Album Chart in 2005.

This album is the 2nd release of Team Love Records.
