A Stereogum article in June 2016 reported that the band was recording new material at their Ohio studio[2] and in October 2017 they released the first single from the album titled "Wait in the Car".

The tour began in the US, continued in Europe, Australia, and South America, and included the Deerhunter-curated All Tomorrow's Parties festival.

[8] For the duration of the recording process, Wiggs stayed in Kim Deal's attic at her Dayton, Ohio home to avoid having to drive the 10 hour journey to New York.

[12] AllMusic reviewer Heather Phares praised the album as "one of the band's finest blends of sugar and swagger, space and noise.

"[20] The Guardian's Alexis Petridis said the album "blends ancient monuments and crushed beetles into a spectral brew".
