On 15 February 2016 Christian Holden wrote a blog post on the band's Tumblr account in which they mentioned an impending album announcement for an album entitled "Goodness". The album was formally announced the next day. At the same time the band released a trailer for the album set to the song "Goodness Pt I", a song sold as a limited edition numbered vinyl during the band's 2015 tour. The band premiered their second single titled "Soft Animal" on April 22, 2016. The album itself was released a little over a month later, on May 27, through Tiny Engines.
