During the show's panel at the 2016 SDCC, it was confirmed that the album would be released in early December on Sub Pop records. Sub Pop had previously released comedy albums by cast members H. Jon Benjamin, Sarah Silverman and Eugene Mirman and Sleater Kinney's No Cities to Love which features the track "A New Wave" for which the music video was animated by Bento Box and features the main characters of Bob's Burgers.
