Released on July 21, 2017, it is Avey Tare's second album, following his 2010 debut Down There,[10] Recorded by fellow Animal Collective bandmate Joshua Dibb, it features past collaborators Eyvind Kang and Angel Deradoorian.

Written on sunlit bedroom afternoon in Los Angeles, practiced in the dark early hours of the California twilight, and slept on under Big Sur skies.

Portner wrote the album by himself in 2014, but due to commitments with his band Animal Collective he set the material aside.

In an interview with Stereogum, Portner elaborated on the writing of the album:[12] ...my process would just be pretty much: pick up my acoustic guitar, sit on my bed, just spend part of the afternoon or a couple of hours playing guitar and singing with my recorder — I record everything that I play.

So I just collected a bunch of that kinda stuff over the year basically.His friend and bandmate Josh Dibb proposed properly recording the album in 2016.
