The album title borrows from the 'release spirit' mechanic in the video game World of Warcraft. When players die, they are prompted to release their spirit and return as ghosts to find their corpses and come back to life. Khotin sees it as a worthy metaphor for the impending change his return home presented and the resulting process of purging artistic expectations to find his creative self again. On this go-around, he is freer, more playful, and more intentional within his palette of warped synth, breakbeats, and piano sounds - including the classic Casio SK-1 presets he's used since the start - mingling with wistful samples, field recordings, and other abstract snippets.
