The album was largely inspired by a long-distance relationship Lewis had with a Danish person as well as his impressions of love and relationships prior to experiencing them, having observed them in other people. Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman, particularly his 1957 film The Seventh Seal, was influential to the album's songwriting and editing process.[8]
The songs "Forget" and "Shooting Holes" can be heard in the game Grand Theft Auto V, on the radio station Radio Mirror Park, which features Twin Shadow as a DJ.[9]
As of 2011, it has sold 10,985 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.[10]
