In the album's Bandcamp description: [8]

"The sky is looking at hundreds of me, and no one can answer what the difference is between us. […] Innumerable skies have shone brighter than me, and now I think they are too precious for me to accept the truth and disappearance directly." [a]

— Parannoul

He dedicated the album to his current listeners, to his family, to "those who have left", and to "hundreds of me". [8] Paste named it one of the best albums of 2024, [9] and PopMatters named it one of the best shoegaze albums of 2024. [10]

Notes

  1. ↑ Original Korean: 하늘은 수백의 저를 보고 있고, 그들과 제가 과연 무엇이 다른지 아무도 제 앞에서 대답하지 못했습니다. [...] 수많은 하늘은 저보다 빛났고, 진실과 사라짐을 직접 받아들이기엔 그동안 너무 소중하게 자라왔던 것 같습니다.
  2. ↑ Track 9 is listed as "Meaning of Forget" on some digital versions.
