Background and production

edit

Following the band's 2016 effort Drunk Dynasty, they originally intended to just release singles, "as that's what people listen to now". However, they recorded a full album in the Poconos to be able to spend more time together.[5] The album announcement coincided with the release of the single "I Wanna Be Brad Pitt" on February 25, 2022.[6]
