Quake’s first release was the 2013 genre-traversing album Visions, and he has followed it up with an R&B sound indebted to the pitched-down style of Soundcloud vocals as well as classic lyrical tropes of the genre. 2015 saw his release In Love N' Memory as an expansion of this sound.

The album’s title comes from a lyric in the outro of the second single “Taste” and is a reference to the book White Noise by Don DeLillo. The album is their first to rely heavily on pop song structures and abandoned the seven- and eight-minute epics that characterized their first two albums Native Speaker and Flourish // Perish.

“Taste” is the second single released from the band’s album Deep In The Iris. The song relies on a hook taken from the book The Perks of Being a Wallflower, while the outro and title of the album is taken from a quote from Don DeLillo’s White Noise. “Taste” has been noted for its pop sensibilities, something that the band explored throughout Deep In The Iris.
