Production and recording

Herrera tweeted on March 29, 2018, that MxPx is working on their 10th album.[9] A Kickstarter campaign was launched that same day. To pay for the album, they would sell exclusive merchandise to fans through Kickstarter. According to the band's Kickstarter campaign, the record is set to be a self-released effort that has a $50,000 goal. With the raised funds, the majority of the money will go to prep and marketing. Costs will be put into hiring an engineer to record and mix the record with plans of releasing the record all around the world, not just North America. The funding period would go from March 29 – May 4 and the campaign concluded with a total of $273,349 and 4,030 pledgers. The band streamed and played the album live the day before the official release. Immediately after the live performance, those who contributed to the campaign received a download of the album.

As touring came to halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a deluxe edition was released on April 14, 2020. It contained the full original 11-song album, 4 bonus tracks and 5 acoustic versions was released.[10]
