The album features contributions from Denée Segall, who co-wrote and sings lead vocals on "Feel Good", and the members of Segall's backing band, the Freedom Band: Mikal Cronin (bass), Charles Moothart (drums), Emmett Kelly (guitar) and Ben Boye (keyboards).[3]
Background and recording
The album was recorded at Segall's new home studio, Harmonizer Studios, in Topanga, California during the COVID-19 pandemic. A press release described the album as "a synthtastic production redesign that finds Ty dialing up a wealth of tightly controlled beats, thick keyboard textures, guitar and endless harmonies. This glossy sound makes for some of Ty's cleanest songs and starkest ideas to date, bracing him as he revisits the lonely days and loathsome nights of the alienated, grown-up-wrong soul."[4]
