Speaking to the The Stool Pigeon, Chan Marshall revealed that the album completion coincided with the break-up of her previous relationship with Giovanni Ribisi.

‘I cut my hair off three days [after the break-up], got on a plane to France, and finished the shit. It’s all good, you know. I love the person very much. I actually love this record very much, too. I’m very proud of it.’
