The 11-track rap LP was released to digital streaming platforms February 9, 2018, after Shirt had teased the full-length project throughout 2017. Executive-produced by Shirt, with various beat makers and musical contributors from around the world, the LP is the first album by the artist written and recorded outside of the US, with Shirt’s vocals recorded primarily from a recording studio on campus in his MFA program. The neon square served as the cover image for all digital outlets. The album’s opening cut “Snowbeach” starts with a verse written and performed by the rapper Chase, Shirt's barber, and closes with a recorded conversation between Shirt and the French artist Marie Matusz.
