It was recorded by Silberman alone between September 2006 and March 2007, and released by Fall Records on November 6, 2007, being the first Antlers album to be released with the help of a record label.
When commenting on the album, Silberman noted that the album was recorded at a low point in his life, when he was able to find comfort in his fascination with the universe. This fascination led to the album's recurring theme of the universe and its vastness. Silberman also noted that the album carries a theme of "religious misdirection", inspired by his own tendency to find the wrong solutions to his problems in life.

on Putting the Dog to Sleep
Prove to me
Please convince me
I'm not gonna die alone
That I won't end up alone
Put your arm 'round my collar bone
Wrap your arm around me, tight
And open the door
Let's see what's on the other side
Don't lie to me
Please be honest with me
If you're putting the dog to sleep
If you have to put the dog down/if you have to leave me
That pet you just couldn't keep
That you couldn't afford to take care of
And couldn't afford
Because you didn't have enough money
Well, prove to me
Please convince me
Unstitch that shed-off soul
Help me repair my damaged psyche
To close up the hole, that tore through my skin
To heal my emotional wound
Well my trust in you
I have faith in you
Is a dog with a broken leg
But it's fragile and cautious
Tendons too torn to beg
Beyond repair and begging for mercy
For you to let me back in
To be accepted into your life again
You said I can't prove to you
You said "I don't believe I can convince you,"
You're not gonna die alone
"That you won't end up alone"
But trust me to take you home
"But let me bring you to safety"
To clean up that blood all over your paws
"And help you recover from your wounds"
You can't keep running out
"You can't keep avoiding your problems"
Kicking yourself off the bed
"Beating yourself up for your mistakes"
Kicking yourself in the head
"Being too hard on yourself"
Because you're kicking me too
"Because it's hurting me as well"
Put your trust in me
Have faith in me
I'm not gonna die alone
I won't end up alone
I don't think so
Maybe I won't end up alone
