Elverum said the album is about mountains, earth and space. The album is a concept album—a type of album where all of the songs have the same story or theme. The album's songs represent life.
After Elverum released the album, he started to publish his music using the name Mount Eerie. The name was used because the themes of his music had changed. Elverum also released two extended plays when he released the album: The Singing from Mount Eerie and The Drums from Mount Eerie. Elverum thought the end of the album's story was not complete, so he released Mount Eerie pts. 6 & 7 in 2007.
