Composition and Recording
In an interview with The A.V. Club, frontman Griggs explained that "The first album was written all-instrumental, and the singing was just sort of ... This album was written more with the vocals in mind." On the subject of self-producing the album, Griggs noted that "I wanted to use the tape again and try to get an old-school sound ... this time around I just tried to give it my all and be more comfortable with that." The frontman also noted that "We recorded this at Sound Farm in Jamaica, instead of Ohio this time. We put a lot more time into it and really focused on the mix to give it a kind of classic psychedelic feel. It's still real bluesy but we tried to make it more psychedelic than the last one."

—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
