The album is described in a press release as “direct yet complex, showing the band at their bravest and also at their most beautiful and melodic.” It draws inspiration from raga singing and 20th-century New York City, with lyrics that Koening wrote between 2019 and 2020, and then developed with his bandmates in the following years. The title comes from his artwork, a photo of a man reading a newspaper with the headline “Only God Was Above Us,” in reference to Aloha Airlines Flight 243.
