Based in Brooklyn, New York, Heavy Halo creates industrialized alt-rock anthems that explore the lines between human vulnerability and electronic power. Revolver Magazine has praised the band's "chunky riffs and EBM-panicked beatwork" and "nihilistic yet melodic vocals," while Post-Punk.com has stated: "The ghosts of ‘90s rebellion flicker in its DNA, yet its spirit is welded to the digital age, where raw emotion fuses with cold machinery."

Heavy Halo's McKeever says this about "Lies": "'Lies' is about being the toxic person in a relationship, straight up. The lyrics came from the idea of wanting to write verses that asked questions I already knew the answers to. 'Am I the one who bleeds your youth and energy?' 'Am I a cold machine, heartless underneath?' 'Lies' is riddled with regret, it’s an elegy for a romance dead and buried. But with the acknowledgment of your flaws and shadow self, there still is the future and the chance to do better. Hope crawls out of Pandora’s Box at the end of the nightmare."

The "Lies" music video was directed by Heavy Halo's Gosteffects and stars ballet dancer Sofie Na’ama Hans. Gosteffects gives this statement on the significance of the interpretive dance in the video: "Her movements escalate from contemplative to frenetic as her psychodrama plays out and her visions spiral into chaos. The lines between reality and dreams smudge as she wrestles with shame and deception, ultimately returning to the same place she started but forever transformed inside."
