Over the next several years the group toured and recorded two collaborative LPs with Ethiopian saxophone player Getatchew Mekurya and international horn quartet Brass Unbound, as well as several singles, including one with Addis Ababa collective Fendika.

The group began working on an album of new material in April 2017, and by July were playing it as a set in front of live audiences.

[10] Robert Christgau, writing for Noisey, called the album an "unrelenting hour of protest music" and considered it an improvement over Catch My Shoe.

[7] The Quietus considered it to be "possibly their most accomplished to date; still brimful of ideas and wisdom and still spitting out enough attitude and trickery to last most bands a career [...] they continue to get better and better".
