Background
On June 2, 2023, KEN Mode announced the release of their ninth studio album, along with the single "The Shrike". Speaking of the album, lead vocalist Jesse Mathewson said: "'This album is the companion piece to 2022's NULL album. Both were written and produced at the same time, throughout the pandemic, and recorded by Andrew Schneider in the fall of 2021. The two-album arc was written with the intention of being two separate works that could be coupled together to make one full album.'"
