The nine-song LP was tracked at the end of 2014 in Los Angeles, with the collection said to mesh post-punk tendencies and stoner rock textures. Marriages' lineup has changed since the release of their 2012 EP Kitsune, with vocalist/guitarist Emma Ruth Rundle and bassist/keyboardist Greg Burns now joined by drummer Andrew Clinco (Drab Majesty). David Clifford (Red Sparowes, Slaves) had previously sat behind the kit. The new Marriages LP comes in the wake of Rundle's 2014 solo LP, Some Heavy Ocean, with the sounds of the group's reportedly shoegazing new collection being compared to Cocteau Twins, Russian Circles, and Echo and the Bunnymen.
