The project will be released on Evar Records, Frusciante’s label, both digitally and physically. The vinyl will contain unreleased music, with titles representing the date of recording and the number of takes before the track was finished. The project was recorded "live to stereo with no overdubs or edits, improvising arrangements", a press release says.

Their self-titled EP, released in 2010 on Funk’s Timesig label, was the trio’s last project, though they’ve regularly gotten together to record music over the last 10 years. Each member has released music within their own individual careers also, with Frusciante releasing a jungle album in 2020, while Funk released two albums in 2018. Macdonald’s last solo release was in 2005.
