This album was recorded during a period of intense personal grief for Elverum, following the death of his wife Geneviève. The music reflects this raw emotional state, with sparse instrumentation and Elverum's distinctively direct vocal delivery.
- "Ocean Roar" was written and recorded in the fall of 2011, in Elverum's home.
- The album was released on P.W. Elverum & Sun, the independent label founded by Elverum himself.
- This album marked a shift towards a more raw and unvarnished sound compared to some of Mount Eerie's earlier, more produced work.
Phil Elverum records music as Mount Eerie, based in Anacortes, Washington. Mount Eerie's work often explores themes of nature, mythology, and the passage of time.
