Upon release, Flume said: "I'm really happy with how the Companion EP 2 has come out. There's so many tracks I've been wanting to get off my chest for so long now and I think it's kinda the end of the Skin kinda campaign and it's a nice way to end it because it's instrumental stuff, there's some vocal collabs... I'm just really proud of how it's turned out."[4]

The EP features vocals from American rapper Pusha T, Moses Sumney, and Glass Animals frontman Dave Bayley.
