Production
After band member Dimitry Manos left the band for other projects and frustrations about how their previous label had handled the release of their previous two albums The Psychedelic Swamp and Abandoned Mansion,[3] the band decided to change their recording process,[4] recording exclusively on 16-track analog tape and worked with a new producer, Gus Seyffert, in a new studio, Sargent Recorders, in California in late 2017.[4]
On NPR's Live from Here percussionist Eric Slick stated “We were either going to break up or make our best record" given the stress of the production process.[5][6]
