Background

The band were reported to be in their recording studio throughout 2023 and 2024, alongside touring. On June 20, 2024, the first single, "Broken Words", was released, [5] followed by "Walking Pipebomb" in July, [6] "Not My Problem" in August, [7] "Brand New Day" in September, [8] and "Sunny Side" released alongside the EP announcement in October. [4] All singles were released as 7-inch vinyl.

When discussing the album, the band said “When [we] started writing this EP, there was no intent for these songs to live together as a collection. As each song took life, we realized that the songs were more in tune with each other than we had originally thought. Six songs became seven and we were recording them with our one of our musical heroes (Bill Stevenson). It felt different - a feeling we hadn’t felt about a recording for some time. This EP represents a new chapter in the story of Less Than Jake. Forward we go into the Uncharted…” [3]
