First solo album under her own name from the former Chairlift frontwoman, who has also worked with Beyoncé, Charli XCX, Blood Orange, and Fischerspooner. She has previously released solo work as Ramona Lisa and CEP.

Recorded with PC Music producer Danny L Harle [Charli XCX, Carly Rae Jepsen], who worked with Polachek on the one-off 2016 single "Ashes Of Love." PC Music producer A.G. Cook also contributes to the single "Ocean Of Tears" ["ornate, romantic, lush, and delightfully surreal," Paper].

"Door," the album's lead single, is "elliptical and strange as Chairlift's most unconventional moments, but shot through with a romantic open-heartedness that's all Polachek." [Pitchfork]

The single "Parachute" is "a trembling, operatic ballad in the vein of Björk or Zola Jesus, rendered in the rich electro-organic palette Polachek tends to prefer." [Stereogum].
