Vocalist Tony Wolski commented:

“It’s music for a statistically wealthy population that somehow can’t afford food or medicine—endlessly scrolling past vacation photos, gym selfies, and images of child amputees in the same feed. It reflects the dissociation required just to exist in that reality.”

A video for the album’s first single, “Well Made Play,” can be found below. Wolski added the following about that:

“While we chase distractions and small comforts, we’re pushed into endless competition with each other—often while those with real power take freely, right in front of us.”
