Upon release, Perkins stated that he did not wish to record another album like its predecessor:
I'd no interest in making Ash Wednesday II. After the dust had settled I was weary, worn and confused about what had happened, especially that people thought it was so personal. I had a talk with myself as to how I might deal with things second time around. Part of this involved making a band record removed from self and giving three other dudes a say. It's a broader vision.[1]

gollark: This is a web client for mpd which allows me to queue new tracks, search things, and that sort of thing, from my "web browser" on my laptop or phone.
gollark: Now, one of those clients for mpd is the creatively named ympd (I forgot what the y stands for).
gollark: But what does it output to? This will be gotten to in due time.
gollark: mpd uses a client-server model, so its "server" daemon bit does audio output, while it's managed by "clients" which manage the playlist and such.
gollark: Additionally, it handles transcoding into the 128kbps Opus output on demand.
