Background and production

In 2011, after releasing The Only She Chapters, Herron's eighth album for Warp, the label informed Herren that it would not accept any more material from him. This led to the rights to the master recordings of his material to be kept with the label. Herren was not sure why he was dropped by Warp and felt unsure about what direction to take next. Herren worked with Teebs (real name Mtendere Mandowa) creating a group called Sons of the Morning. In 2013, he launched a label called Yellow Year, which would release an album titled Speak Soon a collaboration between Herren and a many contemporary and older musicians including Mandowa and Chung as well as the reclusive Swiss musician Dimitri Grimm, aka Dimlite. Herren embarked on a month-long American tour in January 2014 under the Yellow Year banner, but not album was released due to creative and operational differences. The remainder of 2014 was spent looking for a label to release his new material. Under the recommendation of musicians Nigel Godrich and Kieran Hebden, Herron signed to Temporary Residence Limited.

Including the album, Herron released two EPs through the label in 2015. The music on the EPs was written in a six-month period following the album being handed in at the label.
