Marissa Nadler stated of the collaboration in an announcement:
Sometimes it’s greatest to not know prematurely; that’s what I regularly remind myself about how this duet with legendary songwriter John Cale got here collectively. Had I recognized that Justin [Raisen] and Lawrence [Rothman] would prepare for Cale to sing “Poison” with me earlier than I wrote or recorded it, I can’t be sure I wouldn’t have turn out to be frozen with hesitations and second-guessing.
How do you even begin to go about writing a duet with a member of the Velvet Underground? Surely I may need nervously modified the lyric that by accident namechecks a title of a Velvet Underground music (“Run Run Run”), on the very least. For me, Cale is likely one of the most influential rock musicians, remaining admirably arduous to pin down. His look on this music was an entire shock to me, however the immediate I heard it I knew that this was the way in which the music was meant to be heard.
