After Maschat and Øye returned home during the summer, as permitted, the album's existence was revealed on the 20th of July by Bubble Records via a series of social media posts simultaneously announcing the July 31 release date. Clara Cebriárn provided the artwork, as the hotel's "Visual Artist in Residence" for the period. A music video for the song 'Quarantime' was later produced using footage submitted by fans illustrating their experiences under the restrictions during the pandemic, premiering on YouTube on September 13 the same year.
