Before the album's release, many demos were available online. Jack Terricloth commented, "I couldn't care less about the demos. Songs want to be free. Songs want you to whistle them!" Musically, this album is more eclectic than most of their previous work, with significant bluegrass influence.
The lead singer, Jack Terricloth, has claimed the title of the album was taken from a William Butler Yeats poem, but does not identify which one.
