Background

After Sune Rose Wagner's father died suddenly in 2013, the band immersed themselves in Southern Californian surf culture. The album was created in early 2014 over four months working 12-hour days and is the first Raveonettes album to include musical elements such as harp, choirs, and staccato. Lyrically the album deals with tense subject matter such as Sune's near drowning in 2008 ("Endless Sleeper"), his difficult relationship with his father ("Kill!"), his father's death ("Summer Ends"), and infidelity ("Wake Me Up" and "A Hell Below").[6]

The title of the album refers to a popular surfing spot in Maui.[5]
