Along with the album announcement, the duo have shared the album opener 'Close'. Arkbro described the piece as “the most naked song on the record”, the composer’s breathy vocals curling in ribbons around murky brass.

The Return is one of the most melodically strong tracks on the album, with processed vocals and naturalistic lyrics over an arpeggiating synthesizer and drum machine, a provocative hybrid of technology and nature. The song builds in melodic complexity and tension but never explodes, remaining elusive and mysterious. 

The video is for the track “I Can’t Shake The Stranger Out Of You,” the timeless anthem of queer love and intimacy. the version of the song that the video highlights is from their historic, long overdue sophomore LP Blackberry Rose released by Don Giovanni earlier in 2022. The track was on their groundbreaking debut album.
