Development
Kinsella has stated in interviews that the album was composed over the course of about two years, with the early drum work beginning while he was on tour with a reunited Cap'n Jazz in 2010. Sources of inspiration for the record included his first experiences as a father, exploring his old home and defending his beliefs.[5]

gollark: It actually has a more complex spec than XML!
gollark: Did you know YAML has nine ways to do multiline strings?
gollark: Go is kind of like YAML with the whole "simple" thing - it kind of *looks* simple and easy, but it's a minefield of special cases and weirdness and problems and all the special cases make it more complex than something actually designed to be simple would be.
