The single "Permanating" arrived as a standalone release in 2017, offering a more upbeat and pop-inflected counterpoint to Wilson's typically melancholic progressive rock.
- "Permanating" was Wilson's first release on his own SW Records label.
- The song features a distinctive, driving beat and a chorus that eschews Wilson's usual lyrical themes for a more straightforward, optimistic message.
- It was accompanied by a surreal, eye-catching music video directed by Lasse Hoile.
