The album was expected to be released in Fall 2020, but was delayed due to renewed strife between Armenia and Azerbaijan; Tankian instead spent that period engaged in international awareness efforts. The album features some lyrics referencing the 2021 documentary film "Truth to Power", which chronicles Tankian's efforts to gain international recognition for the Armenian Genocide. The title track "Elasticity" was released as an advance single and features a music video directed by Vlad Kaptur. The song "Rumi" is about Tankian's son and the Persian poet of the same name.
