Produced by Jim Ward of At The Drive-In and Sparta, Invisible Self is an immersive experience: nine intense, radiant songs whose emotional weight and ironclad songcraft bear traces of Ward's bands as well as Quicksand, Hum, and Drive Like Jehu (whose song "If It Kills You" inspired the band name).

A new write-up at The Big Takeover states: “The new record by If It Kills You is post-hardcore at its most exuberant. It features nine chiseled, shimmering songs."

Invisible Self producer Jim Ward discusses the making of the album: "Not only are they a great, creative band sonically, but the depth of lyrics and real intention was a joy to work with."

With Ward as producer, the album was recorded and mixed by Martin at The Noise Feed, the recording studio he owns and operates in Bakersfield. Mastering was handled by Carl Saff (Bambara, Kowloon Walled City).
