Mukimukimanmansu formed in 2011 and were one of the first indie bands to achieve the top spot in Naver's real-time search terms. [2] Numerous media outlets described them as a "menboong (Korean : 멘붕, South Korean Internet slang for mental breakdown)" band and noted the unique chorus of one of their songs, "Andromeda." [3] [4] [5] [6] The song later became the album's first track.

Kim Banya of IZM described the album as "the definition of indie music is being broken down." [7] Park Joohyeok of Weiv reviewed "In all areas, 'internality', 'magic', and 'primitive local characteristics' appear evenly. At this point, even if it is a bizarre item, it is worth having a variety of special items. So this album, it's definitely a good acid folk album." [8] Nominating 2012 for best modern rock album, Lee Minhee, a member of the selection committee for the Korean Music Awards, said, "They are a very unusual band that reminds people not to overuse the expression 'ingenuity.'" [5]
All songs are by Mukimukimanmansu except track 5, which is by Kim Chang-wan
