Frontwoman Lily Breshears, a classical harpist and pianist, combines honest lyrics with tension-laden composition. Immediate gratification is not to be expected, as Breshears strives for catharsis being well deserved. Jazz drummer Daniel Rossi provides foundational grooves for Sheers with touches of off-kilter accents, and multi-instrumentalist Aaron Stern adds heavy bass and atmospheric textures. "Quantized" was recorded and mixed by David Pollock at Fortress Galaxy Studios in Portland and mastered by Timothy Stollenwerk, and the artwork is by Hasan Mahmood. The idea for "Quantized" manifested itself when the scent of a summer bloom caught Breshears' attention, stirring unwanted memories. Building to the lyric "early summer never smelled so putrid/when the last was best and worst and unlived," the song laments how memories can distort the present with past experiences.
