Background

Stu Mackenzie stated in an interview that the album is composed of songs that didn't fit in any of the other four albums released by the band in 2017, and that the album is more song oriented than the other releases that year. He also stated that he worked through the Christmas period of 2017 to complete the album before the end of the year.
