In an interview with Triple J in February 2016, the band said the album was written and "radio isn't going to play it", stating "this will be like nothing you've heard before from us". Upon announcement of the album in September 2016, the band described the album as taking a "darker, dirty rock direction", adding "Mums of Australia are going to hate it".
A six-date tour was announced in October 2016. Birds of Tokyo lead singer Ian Kenny said: "When we were writing and recording we kept talking about how we wanted to make a really dark and intense rock record that would be great to play live. So we can't wait to finally crank out these new songs as well as lots of others at some gigs."
