Contents

Background

The album was first announced on 26 April 2017, alongside a music video for "S.A.D.". [1]

In an interview with Under the Radar , Callinan compared naming the album to making "a big empty statement", and that his ideas became "confusing and disorienting". [2]

The cover of the album depicts Callinan urinating on himself.[ citation needed ]

Reception

Andrew Street of The Guardian used the phrase "kidding on the square" to describe Callinan's music, while describing the album as dazzling. [3] Anna Gaca, writing for Spin , called the album unusual. [4]

Canadian magazine Exclaim! , however, critiqued that the album lost focus and compared the music to mashing keys on a keyboard. [5]
