According to Rodriguez-Lopez, Blind Worms was one of his last solo records before forming Bosnian Rainbows, and the first to be recorded in El Paso after moving back from Mexico.[2]

The fourth track, "Lights", is a cover of the 2010 song by Ellie Goulding, and the first ever cover to appear on a Rodriguez-Lopez album. The album closes with the final four tracks forming one 11-minute instrumental piece all together.

"Vanishing Tide" was uploaded in advance as the album's single and was later re-recorded by Omar in 2018 and released on July 24, 2020 as part of The Clouds Hill Tapes Parts I, II & III. An official video of the song was uploaded by Clouds Hill soon after the release of Part II on July 17.

gollark: Android apps are able to run executables, within their own sandboxed environment, subject to normal permissions stuff.
gollark: That is *not* how it works.
gollark: I don't really like vacuum tubes honestly. It's much cooler, in my opinion, seeing how much stuff can be packed into tiny silicon chips.
gollark: > tiktok takes advantage of the openess and can load executables with no checks at allOh no, imagine programs being able to run other programs within their sandbox?
