Background and recording

Smith recorded the album in 2013 using a Buchla Music Easel synthesizer after her mother, a yoga teacher, wanted music she could play during her classes.[1] It includes field recordings of "wind chimes, forest sounds, birds chirping, [and] steam valves".[3] The album will be the first release on Smith's new label, Touchtheplants.[3]

Critical reception
