In a statement, Vile said, “I’ve admired the Verve logo on the back (and front!) of many a Velvet Underground album since my teens.” He added, “I think my previous album
Bottle It In is my deepest record and I’m still really proud of it. I’m excited to release its follow-up on Verve. It’s been a crazy f***in year and I’ve got hundreds of songs and ideas in the can, on paper, and in tape recorders all strewn about the ‘kv zone’... nuggets recorded before-and-after pandemic times... in studios and from home... music past, present and, yup, we’re still rolling. It’s gonna be heavy, it’s gonna be beautiful... and it’s gonna be out there.”
