In 2020, the band announced plans to donate a portion of the proceeds from the EP to Cultural Survival, an indigenous rights charity. As the EP features recorded samples of music performed by the Tatuyo tribe in Brazil, a portion of the profits were directed to IDESAM [The Institute for the Conservation and Sustainable Development of the Amazon] upon its release for Record Store Day. In a newsletter to fans, they wrote: "As we were guests in their [the Tatuyo tribe's] world, we feel it is only right to continue to show our gratitude."[4]

gollark: I suppose they may get around this by not storing locations, but I'm not sure what they do and don't gather.
gollark: I figure that if you have a big set of locations plus pictures including other cars' license plates, that could allow tracking of cars.
