Release
On April 9, 2014, Antemasque released the album's first single "4AM".[9] Rolling Stone described the song as "a charging, punkish rocker with the sorts of squiggly noodling that both the Mars Volta guys and Flea have used as calling cards in their respective groups."[10] The next day, the band released a second song, "Hangin in the Lurch," on their bandcamp page, which is described as a mix of progressive rock and punk rock.[11] The song's description mentioned that it would be released on an upcoming self-titled album.[12] Their third single, "People Forget," was released on April 11, 2014.[13] On April 15, the band released their fourth single, "Drown All Your Witches."[14]
