The album was an alternative take on their 2013 record Last Patrol. But rather than remixing the original tracks, the band reworked the entire recording in order to give it a psychedelic "weird 60s vibe."

And Wyndorf says the idea behind the project was to distance himself from the group's metal tag - something they'll continue to do. He tells Smells Like Infinite Sadness: "I keep trying to step away from Monster Magnet's reputation that we're a metal band - which is not the case and has never been. I guess me singing it and still playing loud music is still confusing people.
