A press release states that Why Hasn’t Everything Already Disappeared? is "an album out of time, concerned with the disappearance of culture, of humanity, of nature, of logic and emotion." It is also stated that "Deerhunter are making clear is that they have exhausted themselves" with the "toxic concept" of nostalgia.
