The release consists of a CD with new material, and a DVD of two live shows that includes a 16-minute "mini-doc" (by the same name) on Gira's new material in acoustic demo form, shot and edited by Francisco Macias.

[1] Several songs were considered, and eventually revised, for inclusion on Swans' comeback album, My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope to the Sky.

[2][3] Gira released this album in order to help raise money to fund the recording of the upcoming Swans album,[2][4] following his announcement that he had reformed the band.

The version of "Oxygen" on I Am Not Insane also featured on the 2014 EP.

The songs "My Lazy Clown" and "Opium Song" were not included on any future albums, nor played live by Swans.
