Background
[edit]Balloonerism was teased on November 16, 2024, at Camp Flog Gnaw with an animated trailer.[1] Days later, on November 21, Miller's estate formally announced the album on social media.[2] They released a statement that the album had great importance to Miller, and that he had commissioned artwork for the album and regularly had discussions concerning its release prior to his death.[2] Familiarity of the project within his fanbase, due to unofficial versions circulating online for years, contributed to the decision to release the project in an official manner.[2]
The album was recorded in 2014, around the time Miller released his mixtape Faces.[2] The cover art features a painting of Miller by artist Alim Smith.[3] Balloonerism will be released by Warner Records on January 17, 2025.[2]
