The album's three tracks, "Fatal", "Buoyant" and "Abillera", were written, performed and produced by the group's members: Chris Abrahams on piano, Lloyd Swanton on double bass and Tony Buck on drums and guitar.

[1] AllMusic's François Couture rated the album at four-and-a-half-out-of-five stars and explained, "Throughout the album, despite all the different approaches and new elements, the music remains resolutely, unmistakably the Necks... [it] is the trio's best album since Aether (or, if you don't like their softer side, since Hanging Gardens), an essential for the fan, and a must-have for the casual listener.

"[2] John L Waters of The Guardian rated it at four-out-of-five stars, "[it] breaks with Necks tradition by featuring three 20-minute pieces, each with different moods and soundworlds.

There's the spooky, Miles-ish 'Buoyant'; the dense ambient indie of 'Abillera'; and the dark, rolling groove of 'Fatal', which seems to cry out for a David Lynch video to accompany it.
