Ripley Johnson elaborated on Rose City Band and the project in a press statement released on the official band page at Thrill Jockey Records, stating:
"With Rose City Band, I'm generally trying to make uplifting music, good time music. This time I couldn't avoid the shadow being more of a presence. There's no getting away from it. The shadow is always there. So, I left it in."
Rose City Band member later added:
"One of my takeaways from making this record is that I spent a lot of energy trying to do things a little different but ended up back where I started in many ways. And that's OK."
The album is currently available for pre-order from the official website of the label. The Color LP is priced at $22, the CD is priced at $11, and the MP3 is priced at $9. There are also hoodies available from the store.
