 At seventy-five minutes, the album is Segall's longest to date, exceeding 2014's "Manipulator".Regarding the album's varied aesthetic, Segall noted, "I'd say that the theme is the anti-theme, and the idea is to be free, hence the name "Freedom's Goblin".I have made a lot of records that have had specific restrictions and confinements in the concept, but for this record the idea was that no idea is inappropriate, no space where we're going to record or create is wrong.
