The band considers it a collection of "stray" tracks that never fit on previous albums,[1] some of which date back to the 1980s.[2] The album was released for Record Store Day.[2]
The album was initially announced as vinyl only but was eventually released in multiple formats.[3]

gollark: I have no idea. I may be misremembering it, but it's definitely a Pentium of some kind.
gollark: Technically, the worst computer I have is probably my old ~2015 phone, which still sort of works (it can boot into recovery fine but not into actual Android, and the battery doesn't actually work and the USB cable doesn't fit half the time). Otherwise, the Windows XP laptop with a... Pentium 3 or something, I forgot, which is lying around somewhere.
gollark: Memory, sure, but CPU?
gollark: Huh. Weird, then.
gollark: I use the web version, which means I can have multiple tabs open, and it has less data gathering ability, and it uses marginally less system resources.
