Background

The band recorded enough material across the four years from their previous album Tree (2015), so decided to release it across two separate albums, with Eye showcasing the band's "wild side", and Lip featuring the band's "signature pop" songs.[1]

The songs "Anti-Hero", "SOS", "Stargazer" and "Re:set" were released prior to the album.[3]

Promotion

"Re:set" was used as the theme for the video game Catherine: Full Body.[4]
