Notably, the record announcement was made from space. A press release said the following about that:

“In partnership with Sent Into Space, the band sent a specially-designed tablet 33km up into the atmosphere to premiere the ‘Be With You’ video, while a second package carried stickers for a limited-edition vinyl release to be claimed by fans.”

Futher details were shared on the album itself:

“‘THE WOW! SIGNAL’ takes its name from one of the most compelling interstellar mysteries of the last century: a powerful 72-second radio burst detected in 1977 originating from the constellation Sagittarius with a bandwidth and intensity that suggested a possible extraterrestrial source. The astronomer who discovered the anomaly famously circled the now-iconic sequence ‘6EQUJ5’ and wrote ‘WOW!’ on the printout beside it — giving the signal its name and cementing its place in scientific and pop-culture lore.”
