Recorded at Shangri-La Studios in Malibu, California, the album was produced by Lou Adler alongside The Volume Dealers—a production moniker for Neil Young and Niko Bolas. The release follows the Chrome Hearts’ 2025 debut studio album, Talkin’ to the Trees, and their April 2026 live album, As Time Explodes.
