Background

Seven Lions said about the album: "Really glad to finally get this EP out there. Some of these songs I have been working on for years. A few of these you will recognize from my recent live sets. As well as having some high energy songs for this EP I really wanted to experiment with some non-dance floor related tracks and really get back to my metal and acoustic roots."[3]

Songs from the EP have been described as grimy, glitchy, heavy rock-inspired, and classical and metal-infused.[4] The EP is described as an "eclectic and genre-hopping odyssey that dips and dives through drum & bass, dance, progressive house, and melodic dubstep."[5]

The EP became Seven Lions's first number one album on the Dance/Electronic Albums chart.[6]
