Background

Warpaint's preceding album, Heads Up , was released in 2016. Following the release of that album, the band members encountered different priorities, such as "babies, jobs, tours, solo albums, intercontinental and cross country moves", which initially presented "mounting logistical challenges" and doubts about whether they could regroup to work on new material. [4]

Recording

The band began work on the album with producer Sam Petts-Davies in early 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic caused them to finish recording their parts in their own "makeshift home studios". Although finishing recording "some time ago", they waited to release the album until they could tour to promote it. [5] This self-imposed delay also helped them to "further hone", build and then reconstruct each song. [6] In a press release, Emily Kokal joked that the band should have called it Exquisite Corpse instead of their debut EP. [4]
