About the origin of the album, singer Ross Jennings said:

The singer added:

Guitarist Richard Henshall followed:

{{cquote|It reminds me of 'The Mountain'. There, we had the idea of not really a narrative-based album, but more the concept of climbing a mountain and overcoming the obstacles along the way. Then we took that and thought about how it could relate to our everyday lives. All of ''Faunas animales relate to us, personally". }} Track listing
