[11] Derelicts returns to the sound of Hydroponic Garden, World of Sleepers, and Interloper, after their experiment into drone on the album Twentythree.

[12] It is the first album by Carbon Based Lifeforms to be self-published and was not released by their previous label Ultimae Records.

[15] It was voted by fans the best album of 2017 on a psychedelic-downtempo focused music site.

Derelicts was CBLs first proper full length album in a good while and I felt that there was this energy about it...red became, for me, sort of a symbol of that intense nerve that anticipation is.

"[21] Derelicts starts at track 1, indicating it is not a sequel to the album Twentythree or part of the World of Sleepers series.
