Unreleased demo versions of “Retina Show” and “Sidetracked Soundtrack,” two songs from the “Lonerism” sessions that weren’t included on the final album, will be included among the bonus tracks.

On Instagram, Parker just shared a reflection on the album’s creation. It’s hard to put into words what the album means to me right now. Making the song was a really meaningful period for me, he said.
“I had finally allowed myself to let the music entirely consume me… to fully immerse myself in my own world of recording music. I therefore felt a fresh feeling of creative freedom. I was finally simply doing music for myself and believed in myself, so I didn’t feel judged for being ambitious, odd, pop, experimental, or anything.
