==History==

After the [[Good & Evil]] tour in 2011, Rob would continue writing songs with no thought of making an album.<ref name="HITSRobInterview">[https://www.hiddeninthesand.com/blogs/rob-cantor/2014/09/catching-up-with-rob-cantor/ Catching Up With Rob Cantor. Hidden in the Sand.]</ref> Part of his song writing time was taken up by freelance jobs with companies, as well as small tracks released on his SoundCloud. Eventually Rob and friend [[Ricky Lax]] would try to tackle creating an entire musical in April 2012, [[Mr. President, There’s an Asteroid Headed Directly For the Earth: The Musical]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120512085327/http://studios.amazon.com/projects/9984 Amazon Studios Asteroid Musical page]</ref> These plans would fall apart however after Amazon Studios never picked it up.<ref name="HITSRobInterview">[https://www.hiddeninthesand.com/blogs/rob-cantor/2014/09/catching-up-with-rob-cantor/ Catching Up With Rob Cantor. Hidden in the Sand.]</ref>

One track that was scrapped from the album was described as a "cool-sounding dance track" that was sadly cut due to it not meshing well with the rest of the tracks.<ref name="HITSRobInterview">[https://www.hiddeninthesand.com/blogs/rob-cantor/2014/09/catching-up-with-rob-cantor/ Catching Up With Rob Cantor. Hidden in the Sand.]</ref>

On March 4th 2014, the album opened for pre-release sales through [http://robcantormusic.bandcamp.com/album/not-a-trampoline Bandcamp] with an unfinished album cover showing Rob with the release date. The music video for Old Bike was released on the same date, the first single from the album.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z4iWAnrMGU OLD BIKE - Rob Cantor. YouTube.]</ref>

On April 11th, the album artwork was finished.<ref>[https://twitter.com/robcantor/status/454666654203396096?s=20&t=k6w4s5Fs21grk7ZfZxISdg Rob Cantor tweet about the album work]</ref> The album title was inspired by a trip Gregtronic and Rob took after the recording sessions for the album were finished, where they came across some "signage" with assumedly similar sayings on it.<ref name="HITSRobInterview">[https://www.hiddeninthesand.com/blogs/rob-cantor/2014/09/catching-up-with-rob-cantor/ Catching Up With Rob Cantor. Hidden in the Sand.]</ref> The artwork was originally intended to be a single flamingo feather, however when it was mocked up he felt it was too serious, a tone unfitting of much of the album. [[Bora Karaca]] would email Rob around the same time with a cover he created to replace a auto-generated cover iTunes made, which struck Rob as weird but fitting. Rob and Bora would go out to KFC to buy some chicken wings to photograph and made  the final cover that same day.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/729380563761846/photos/pb.100044809980517.-2207520000../796667470366488/?type=3 Rob Cantor Facebook photo of the rough NAT cover]</ref>
