[2] Like many of our past records, we wrote and gathered much of the material at our farm studio in the south of France with minimal equipment, vintage toys and antique instruments.

Going back to a "4-track" style approach, we limited ourselves to essential, acoustic accompaniment, played by us, and select percussion, toys from our old suit cases dating back to the La Maison days.On June 11, 2015, CocoRosie shared a behind-the-scenes video of the group in the studio and announced that a new album would be released that Fall.

[4] The video featured snippets of the tracks "Hairnet Paradise" and "Big and Black", the latter being intended for the album.

[11] The non-album track "Lilies of Innocence" which features guest vocals from frequent collaborator Anohni was available to download upon ordering the album on CD from CocoRosie's website.

The vinyl release has different album art and includes two bonus tracks: "Lilies of Innocence" and "Un Beso (Live)".
