[13] The album artwork was shot by Luke Gilford and it showcases an androgynous Perfume Genius.

[17][18][19] In an interview for Refinery29, Perfume Genius said, "I don’t know, for a long time I had been kind of constantly seeking reassurance and acceptance all over the place, and wanting to be taken seriously but waiting for someone else to do it for me, do you know what I mean?.” He explains that this was a more serious approach to making this album.
