Upon announcement Dave Faulkner said:[8][9]
The last two years have been frustrating and nerve-racking for everyone, but for the Hoodoo Gurus, this dark cloud has had a silver lining. Forced to rely on ourselves instead of the outside world for validation, there has been a creative rebirth within the band that has resulted in a new album. Most important of all, the musical bonds between the four of us have never been stronger. When the discussions are all about which songs we're sad about having to leave off the record, that's a damn good sign. I'm tellin' ya, folks, we've got a real spring in our step right now.
The album was performed in its entirety for the first time via an exclusive live special event recording from Damien Gerard Studios on the NSW Central Coast on 10 March 2022.[10]
The album's vinyl release was pushed back to 31 April due to COVID-19-related supply chain issues.
The vinyl version features three bonus tracks: "Hung Out to Dry", the B-side of the "Get Out of Dodge" single (and a single in its own right) and covers of Bob Dylan's "Obviously Five Believers" and Lennon/McCartney's "I Wanna Be Your Man".
