Background and production

In 2011, after releasing The Only She Chapters , Herron's eighth album for Warp, the label informed Herren that it would not accept any more material from him. [2] This led to the rights to the master recordings of his material to be kept with the label. [2] Herren was not sure why he was dropped by Warp and felt unsure about what direction to take next. [2] Herren worked with Teebs (real name Mtendere Mandowa) creating a group called Sons of the Morning. [2] In 2013, he launched a label called Yellow Year, which would release an album titled Speak Soon a collaboration between Herren and many contemporary and older musicians including Mandowa and Chung as well as the reclusive Swiss musician Dimitri Grimm, aka Dimlite. Herren embarked on a month-long American tour in January 2014 under the Yellow Year banner, but not album was released due to creative and operational differences. [2] The remainder of 2014 was spent looking for a label to release his new material. Under the recommendation of musicians Nigel Godrich and Kieran Hebden, Herron signed to Temporary Residence Limited. [2]
