Selway described his vision for the project as "a Carole King record if she collaborated with the pioneering electronic composer Daphne Oram and invited him to drum on it".[3] Contributors include Marta Salogni, who also produced the album, and Hannah Peel, Adrian Utley of Portishead, Quinta and Valentina Magaletti.[3][2][4]
The album cover features a piece by the abstract painter Stewart Geddes.

"Check for Signs of Life" was released as the first single on 25 October 2022, followed by "Picking Up Pieces" on 9 January 2023.[5]
Alongside the standard release, the album will receive a deluxe edition for vinyl containing a second LP consisting of pieces Selway composed for the film Carmilla and the BBC Radio 3 play Sea Longing, alongside additional prints by Geddes.[3]
