Marta Salogni, well-known for her work with Bjork and Holly Herndon, served as mixing engineer.This album is based on the theme of loss and grief of "everything always ends" in the midst of a pandemic while facing his own illness, and is performed by an ensemble of strings, brass, and wind instruments by 13 prominent musicians from the Chicago jazz, classical, and experimental music scenes, with Circuit des Yeux's four-octave gothic voice paints a more one-of-a-kind otherworldly picture than ever before on this collection of 10 songs, including the preceding single "Dogma".
