The concept album was recorded in September 2014 at AIR Studios, London, UK.

[5] Wilson also described the album as more reflective of all of the different material in his back catalogue, featuring elements of electronic music and straightforward pop songs alongside long progressive-oriented tracks.

[6] According to Wilson, the concept album is written from a female perspective, and the concept and story are inspired by the case of Joyce Carol Vincent, where a woman living in a large city dies in her apartment and no one misses her for over two years, despite her having family and friends.

[7] Wilson explained: "The basic story, or concept of the record – it's about a woman growing up, who goes to live in the city, very isolated, and she disappears one day and no one notices.

She was young, she was popular, she was attractive, she had many friends, she had family, but for whatever reason, nobody missed her for three years.

"[9] Music from the album started being released to the public in January 2015, when a teaser trailer was released online, accompanied with a link to a blog written by the album's main character – a reclusive artist who writes about her interest in people who go missing and her talent for hiding in public.

[10] On 4 February 2015 a video for "Perfect Life" was released via Wilson's official YouTube channel.

[12] The Guardian rated the album five stars and called it "a smart, soulful and immersive work of art".

grabs your full attention from the beginning to the very final note, and that's the sign of a great album".

[14] Another 5 star review appeared in the March 2015 edition of Record Collector, who praised the album's "spellbinding poignancy and aching beauty".
