Release

On 2 September 2021, Jon Hopkins announced the release of his sixth studio album, along with the first single "Sit Around the Fire".[14] Of the single, which features collaborations by East Forest and Ram Dass, Hopkins said:

"Sit Around the Fire" exists from one of the deep synchronicities that ushered this thing (Music for Psychedelic Therapy) into being. I was contacted by East Forest, who had spent some time with Ram Dass in Hawaii before he passed. He was given access to several lesser-heard talks from the 70s, and asked to set them to music. He sent me some starting points, including the beautiful choral vocals he recorded which open the piece. I put my headphones on and with Ram Dass' voice inside my head, I sat at the piano and improvised. What you hear is the first thing that came out - it just appeared in response to the words."[15]

The album was premiered at L-Acoustics Creations in Westlake Village, California at a Pitchblack Playback album listening session.[16][17]
