Last May, Weyes Blood was forced to cancel her planned live shows for 2020 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. She was scheduled to perform in London and Dublin in April.

At the same time, Mering revealed to fans that she was “beginning to work on my next album that will come out in 2021 — a different time, when hopefully we can see each other face to face once again”.

Weyes Blood later featured on Tim Heidecker’s single ‘Oh How We Drift Away’, which appears on the latter’s most recent record, ‘Fear Of Death’.
