Their first to be released through Domino Recording Company, the album is much darker and more philosophical than its predecessors. RecordingThe band hired Sonny DiPerri to co-produce this album (known for his work with Animal Collective). In an interview, lead singer Joe Casey said that "we knew we wanted to go someplace different to record than the previous two records, so we wouldn’t get in a rut [...] what was so great about Sonny was that he was very locked in to what we wanted."[1] He said that the band "wanted to record somewhere warm and we went to California. Usually, we are recording in Michigan and it is characteristically cold."[1] According to Casey, the change in recording location also helped them write more complicated songs than before.[1] Guitarist Greg Ahee "was kind of enthralled with a certain kind of violin sound we heard [...] on a Raincoats record called Odyshape and then he wanted violin on the record. At first we heard it, and we all just thought, ‘Ah shit, I don’t know if that’s going to work or not.’"[1] He was also influenced by Mica Levi's score to Under the Skin[2]. Asked on the source of the album's direction, Casey said: "For this record, we had just come off the road after doing a lot of touring. There were a lot of aches and pains so there was a lot of references to guts and generally feeling unwell. After the tour, my house also flooded. Before then, it had this smell of smoke and dust. Now I’ve got this mildew smell on top of that and the combination of these sensations and smell kind of infected the record."[1] ContentAccording to NPR, the album is "a collection of lyrically dense, deeply philosophical [...] songs that grapple with some of life's thorniest questions: What does it mean to be human? What is truth? What is the nature of good and evil?"[3]. Casey refuses to classify the album as "an anti-Trump album [...] I don’t think this album is any more political than our previous records, but people are picking up on it more because it’s a constant bombardment”[4] despite being "half informed by America, post-election"[5]. "A Private Understanding", which is "almost a worldwide proclamation about the dire state of things (with apocalyptic trumpets even)", references Elvis Presley's vision of Jesus in a desert and the Flint water crisis[5]. "Here is The Thing" is a "repeat of the same feeling but with a more personal, local take", the titular "Thing" being "unfettered capitalism at the expense of humanity."[3] The song "My Children" deals with "legacy and what we leave behind: offspring, stone monuments, genetics [...]" and includes a reference to David Bowie[3]. "Windsor Hum" references a real phenomenon in its title, "a very low frequency hum [...] described as a massive refrigerator running. It’s constant, so if you do hear it, you can’t get it out of your head and it can drive you crazy" that one can hear emanating from Windsor "across the river"[5]. "Caitriona" references the main character of Cré na Cille by Máirtín Ó Cadhain and describes "an afterlife of comically complaining in your coffin about everything, including your stupid son, for all eternity."[3] "The Chuckler" "is about trying to get through the day-to-day grind of living with all its loneliness and frustrations while the shadow of global meltdown darkens your door. I would describe the chuckle of the main character as being very, very hollow."[3] The imaginary titular city in "Don't Go To Anacita" is a pseudo-homophonic pun for “any city”[6] that has been described "as an affluent suburb that looks quaint and respectable but maybe has too many cops for the population size."[3] "Up The Tower", a "fantasy folk song about a craven, money-hungry troll that lived at the top of a golden tower and the heroic townspeople that would eventually dethrone him", was influenced by Charley Pride's cover of "Crystal Chandelier" and contains a reference to The English Mail-Coach by Thomas De Quincey[3]. The song "Male Plague" deals with "weird toxic male attitude" he had witnessed from his experience in the "music iundustry [sic]".[5] "Corpses In Regalia" incorporates dream imagery and is influenced by Our Lady of Darkness by Fritz Leiber[3]. The closing track "Half Sister" is a "swaggering, misanthropic song in which Casey tells three (fictional) tales from different points in history all regarding the idea of 'truth'"[7], ending with the refrain "She's just trying to reach you" which also ends the opening track "A Private Understanding", hence bringing the album "full circle" with the sense that "hope isn’t quite dead, but it’s also no closer than when we started."[8] ArtworkThe album cover depicts Maude Fealy.[9] ReleaseThe album was released on the 29th of September 2017 through Domino Recording Company.[10] The tracks "A Private Understanding", "My Children" and "Don't Go To Anacita" were released as singles on July 10th, August 15th and October 27th respectively. The videos for "A Private Understanding" (directed by Tony Wolski and Trevor Naud) and "Don't Go To Anacita" (directed by Yoonha Park) were uploaded through the band's official YouTube channel on the aforementioned dates of their release.[11][12][13] Reception{{Album reviews| MC = 85/100[14] | rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = {{Rating|4|5}}[15] | rev2 = The A.V.
