Upon release band member Ian Kenny said "After a couple of years of fleeting highs and extreme lows, new music has now emerged squinting through the bright light of what seemed like a long and twisted tunnel. Only when we truly get kicked down do we learn what we're made of. Through the rebuild, reflection and remains we find out who and what we are. We live on. We love more. We let go."[4]
