Background and recording

After returning to Australia following the end of his world tour in support of Skin (2016) and Hi This Is Flume (2019), Flume moved to a coastal town in the Northern Rivers area of New South Wales, where he says he found "inspiration from the flora and fauna surrounding him". He also made field recordings of birds, which are used throughout the album.[4]

Promotion

Flume announced the album and its track listing on 2 February 2022, also releasing the song "Say Nothing" featuring May-a and its music video the same day. The video contains similar visuals to those Flume uploaded on his NFT website throughout 2021.[5] Flume said the track is about "feelings of post relationship clarity" and was written "midway through 2020 while the pandemic was still pretty new", although it was finished in early 2021.[6]
