History

The album was written in a cabin in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and recorded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with producer Will Yip. The album was released with a 48-page companion book, Yesterday's Home, which was written about the process of making the album and includes all of the lyrics as well. Some of the proceeds from the record went to benefitting causes advancing and encouraging youth involvement in the arts and music, such as all-ages spaces, creative workshops, programming, and education. A tour was announced for Spring 2014 with Pianos Become the Teeth and Mansions. A national tour started on March 14, 2014 and ended on April 14, 2014 and an international tour started on April 27, 2014 and ended on May 22, 2014.

This release is the first without longtime supporters No Sleep Records, instead being released on their own label Better Living with help from Staple Records.

The album was included at number 42 on Rock Sounds "Top 50 Albums of the Year" list.^[5]
