The album is the Indiana trio's fourth and was recorded with Brad Cook and mixed by Jon Ashley. It features novel-esque storytelling and a bright sound, highlighted on album ender "Las Vegas," and weaves tales of fading love, growing up, and reflection. It finds the band returning to what they do best: "shaggy, swinging, big-screen storytelling" (NPR Music) set to a rustic, home-recorded sound.

"This album felt like being back in time again, only now everything is a little more dialed-back and cared for," drummer/vocalist Shane Cody remarks. "It was like a return to the way we fell in love with playing music together."
