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On October 16, 2018, the band announced a deluxe version of the album with three new tracks, originally made available only on their Bandcamp page.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.
