“Bad Self Portraits,” the first track and title song of the album refers to the massive cultural phenomenon known as “selfies.”

Bridget Kearney, the band’s bassist, wrote the song about a woman who, after her love leaves her is stuck with no one to take pictures of but herself. She posts these pictures on social media in order to try to convince the world, and herself, that she isn’t as lonely as she really is.

In an interview with Interview Magazine, Mike Calabrese, the band’s drummer said:

It’s a world of taking selfies and sort of showing the world that you’re doing stuff but feeling alone inside. We’re trying to twist it around in that way, I guess.
