In a July 19, 2022 Bandcamp post, Jonathan Meiburg advised fans that the demos for Jet Plane and Oxbow had been digitally located and would be accessible to Patreon subscribers for one week. He wrote that the tracks could not be made available on Bandcamp for contractual reasons. No further future release was mentioned, however the wav format files were accompanied by full back and front cover artwork. Four of the songs were developed and included on the album, whilst an additional seven did not survive beyond demo stage. Meiburg: "They're more like sketches than paintings, but you can hear what they're going to be, or might have been."
