Background
Band members Asy and Chloe Saavedra announced on Facebook that they were working on a new album in December 2016.[4] The band released two singles from the album on iTunes and Spotify in late 2017. "Dripping with Fire" was released on September 29, 2017, with a music video directed by Stephanie Dimiskovski released on VEVO and YouTube.[5] "On Turning 23" was released on November 15, 2017.[6] This video was directed by Maia Saavedra, the band members' younger sister and former collaborator.[7][8] These songs and their videos carry themes about sisterhood, estrangement, and growing up.[5]
In April 2018, the band released a music video for the album's third single, "Pink Politics," which appeared on their YouTube channel on April 12.[1] The video was directed by Fredgy Noël and shot in public on Asy and Chloe's iPhones.[3] Asy has said that the song was written the day after the 2016 presidential election, and that the song and video are a response to it.[1]
Chaos Chaos began headlining their first-ever national tour on April 12 to promote the album, which was released on May 15, 2018.[1]
On October 16, 2018, the band announced a deluxe version of the album with three new tracks, originally made available only on their Bandcamp page.[9] It has since been made available on other platforms as well.
