Background

The album was first announced on 26 April 2017, alongside a music video for "S.A.D.".[1]

In an interview with Under the Radar, Callinan compared naming the album to making "a big empty statement", and that his ideas became "confusing and disorienting".[2]

Reception

Andrew Street of The Guardian used the phrase "kidding on the square" to describe Callinan's music, while describing the album as dazzling.[3] Anna Gaca, writing for Spin, called the album unusual.[4]

Canadian magazine Exclaim, however, critiqued that the album lost focus and compared the music to mashing keys on a keyboard.[5]
