The album originated in a daydream, in which Tom Jenkinson envisioned a rock band performing a concert against the backdrop of a large, glowing coathanger. The performance quickly became surreal: among other things, a river forces the band to kayak whilst performing; the guitarist is able to accelerate or decelerate time at will; and every drum in the drummer's kit begins to switch places with each another.[8] As such, the majority of the album consists of Jenkinson's own version of jazz fusion, threaded through with classical guitar, math rock and funk recordings.

gollark: But, er, you seem to have said that Google randomly collects microphone input? That's... quite significant?
gollark: Oh, I assumed you meant a literal national border.
gollark: You seem to recognize to some extent that other people having sensitive/personal data is *bad*, but not actually acknowledge the fact that Microsoft and Google... contain people, and might be passing that data onto people, and are retaining it for ages and it might go somewhere else eventually.
