[3] The band had wanted to record in the city for a while and Pat suggested taking a week to fly out and find a space to work in.

They set out with producer Colby Wedgeworth and recorded at the Brooklyn Patch - a house with a built-in studio made specifically for bands to record/write in.

[3] The recording process was documented by the band and made into a mini YouTube series which they titled "Miserable Youth".

[12] Preceded by a one-off show in the UK, the group embarked on a North American tour in March and April.

[6] The band organized small pop-up shops throughout select cities of the tour to sell merchandise and give fans a chance to connect with them while on the road.

[19] In October and November, the group embarked on The Modern Nostalgia Tour where they performed Lovely Little Lonely and American Candy in their entirety.

[1] Amber Ainsworth of ClickonDetroit says "The guitars are more prominent and defining, while there's a line between it being entirely a rock album and being something that doesn't fit neatly into one genre".
