In a message posted on Facebook, the band announced the album with a message that reads, "We realize these are uncertain times and we hope the joy and love we found making the record will find its way out into the world, in however small a way. "
I See You was recorded between March 2014 and August 2016 in New York, Marfa Texas, Reykjavik, Los Angeles, and London. That's the album artwork at the bottom of the page.
