Their sixth full-length overall follows City Club from 2016, which featured production from Julian Casablancas. Its 10 tracks, including synth-y lead single "Problems III", date back at least two years, originating during the band's City Club sessions. A press statement specifically notes the self-produced Casual Acquaintances consists of "demos, works-in-progress and other unfinished business" from that time.
