This album picks up where "We Give and We Get" left off. To me it feels like the last album of a 3-album arc that began with "All the Little Things" then continued with "We Give and We Get" and now, with "Take Care and Safe Home," finishes. A couple of the songs near the end of the album are surprisingly upbeat! This doesn't signal a new direction for The Candlepark Stars: those are just nice surprises to be found along the way.

For those new to the Spheruleus sound, Lincolnshire (UK) based artist Harry Towell has been releasing experimental material since 2008 on labels such as Hibernate, Under The Spire, Time Released Sound and most recently a collaboration with Ekca Liena on Home Normal. When he is not manipulating frequencies whether acoustic or otherwise, Harry spends his spare time curating netlabel Audio Gourmet and now its new sister label Tessellate Recordings.
