Trivia

 * This album does not seem to have anything to do with the story originally started in the previous album, My Brother's Blood Machine.
 * Writing this album became an outlet for Sanchez as he dealt with the 2020 pandemic, his grandfather falling ill, and his wife being diagnosed with an auto-immune disease.
 * The album was previewed in its entirety on April 22, 2021 (the day before it's official release) on Sanchez's Twitch channel. This day also happened to be his wife's birthday.
 * In addition to giving away a copy of each variant of the vinyl, Sanchez also randomly included a polaroid into random shipments of the purchased vinyls.
