The album was produced by Samson's Weakerthans bandmate Jason Tait and Christine Fellows, and also features contributions from his Weakerthans bandmate Greg Smith.[4] In an interview with The A.V. Club, Samson described the album as feeling in some ways like a new Weakerthans album rather than a solo project.[4]

The album was a longlisted nominee for the 2017 Polaris Music Prize.[6]
