The Death of Greeley Estates was produced by Cory Spotts.

It was originally scheduled to be released on August 2 but was delayed due to obligations with Tragic Hero.

[4] Before its release, Zimmerman explained the album's ideas to AMP magazine by saying, "We’re thinking of kind of combining the last two records, Go West and No Rain, to kind of bring back some singing and have a little bit of melody but still have the heavy.

I think trying to do something that we didn’t do on the record before-we want to have a little bit of a shock value each time.

We started off some of early albums with pop songs so we’ve changed a lot over the years but we want to kind of have that same approach going into this record too.
