The album draws extensively on Spoon's Christian religious upbringing. In the lead track "Amy Grant", Spoon wishes to have known of Freddie Mercury in childhood rather than Amy Grant, while album closer "Can't Tear It From Me" is a reminiscence of Spoon's grandmother.
For the album, Spoon pulled back from the overt electronic music elements that have defined their musical style since 2008's superioryouareinferior, instead reverting to styles more reminiscent of their childhood influences, such as country, folk, gospel and rock, although the album still makes some use of sampling and electronic processing.
The album was recorded at co-producer Lorrie Matheson's studio in Calgary, Alberta.
