In 2018, band vocalist Finn Andrews returned from the United Kingdom to Auckland, New Zealand, in order to record his solo album One Piece at a Time (2019), later deciding to relocate permanently to New Zealand. Andrews broke his wrist during the album's tour, causing him to take his first break from touring in 20 years.[1] Much of the album was written during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, during which Andrews was anticipating the birth of his daughter.[1]
The album was recorded at Roundhead Studios, Paquin Studios, The Lab, Auckland and the Massey Performing Arts Center; all locations in Auckland, New Zealand. All songs on the album were written by Andrews, except for "Cradle Song", which is a cover of the 1984 song by Shriekback. As Andrews' father Barry Andrews had originally written the song to commemorate the birth of his son, Andrews decided to record a cover of the song to commemorate the birth of his own daughter.[2]
"Undertow" was released as the first single from the album on 11 November 2022, paired with the official announcement of the album.[3] "Undertow" was followed by three further singles: "No Limit of Stars" in December,[4] "Time" on 1 January,[5] and "Bullfighter (Hand of God)" in late January.[6]
The band performed a nine date tour of New Zealand in March and April, ending at The Powerstation in Auckland on 1 April 2023.[3] This was followed by a 12-date European tour in June, which saw the band perform in the United Kingdom, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Germany and Portugal.[6]
