The band elaboate on this in an interview with The Quietus, saying how the music was composed in the studio whilst recording in a three-day session.

"Neon Baby" was initially released as a digital single accompanied by a music video featuring imagery from science fiction and B-movies, which can also be seen in the titles of the tracks on Prophecy. A music video for "Do The Milky Way" was released along with the album, premiering on The Quietus
