Background

In April 2016, Her's released their debut single "Dorothy". It was well received: Jamie Milton of DIY compared them to Wild Nothing, Beach Fossils and Ariel Pink.[2] The next single, "What Once Was", was released the following month.[3] In October, they released the single "Marcel", inspired by a lost ID card found in a wallet from a vintage shop.[4] A review in The Line of Best Fit described the sound as a combination of British indie, tropical beach wave, and slacker rock.[5] The next single, released in February 2017, was also reviewed in DIY.[6] "I'll Try", the final single to be included on the album, was released in April 2017, and positively received in an NME review.[7]
