It's been nearly three years since Weeping Icon's thrilling self-titled debut was released on Fire Talk in 2019. A band who had long been bubbling under in the Brooklyn scene, their album was met with an immediate wave of excitement, with Bandcamp dubbing the record "rock music at it's most vital" and Pitchfork hailing it as "a complete vision", praising the collection of "noisy punk thrashers that are clever, incisive, and frequently very funny."

Recorded and mixed by Ben Greenberg at Strange Weather before being mastered by Sarah Register (Pom Pom Squad, US Girls, Julien Baker), the new EP sees the band fine-tune their acerbic songwriting and propulsive rhythm section while also galvanizing into shoegazey noise to captivating effect. Lead single “Pigs, Shit, & Trash” accelerates Weeping Icon’s doomscape tendencies into heady rhythmic territory, with reverb-heavy vocals providing a new dimension to one of the more ferocious tracks in the band's catalog to date.
