Background
Mike Protich explained that the album's title came from "the juxtaposition of what's cheap/obtainable (polyester) and what we strive for or what our goals may be (zeal)", and carried stories about "past life experiences," the band's journey towards the album's creation, and "nostalgic scenes" that made them who they are.[1]
