It is the band's first release on Bloomington, Indiana indie label Dead Oceans.[8] Around the same time Mercer and Campbell had a son. Carey's Cold Spring, Frog Eyes' sixth album did not feature Campbell and she was temporarily replaced by Matt Skillings. The album was long listed for the 2014 Polaris Music Prize Award.
In March 2018, the band announced it would release its final album, Violet Psalms, accompanied by a farewell tour ending in July of the same year.
