== Background ==
Since the band's EP ''A Wail (곡소리)'' release in 2016, they have started to work on their first studio album, and several songs that had been planned for the third album of Kim Daein's solo project Jelly Boy were included in this album.[{{Cite web|last1=Park |first1=Jeongseon |url=https://www.dailian.co.kr/news/view/918491/|title=[D:인디그라운드㉕] 해파리소년 "데뷔 15년, 여전히 열정 활활 타고 있죠"|date=2020-09-09|website=Dailian|access-date=2023-10-06}}] The band decided to make a concept album under the theme of ''Salpuri'', a Korean shamanic dance, and named most of the tracks in one letter.[{{Cite web|last1=Kim |first1=Gwangseob |url=https://star.ohmynews.com/NWS_Web/OhmyStar/at_pg.aspx?CNTN_CD=A0002341060|title=카세트테이프로 앨범 낸 지 1년, 이 밴드의 진짜 1집이 나온다|date=2020-09-09|website=Oh My News|access-date=2023-10-06}}] Kim Daein described the album as "a salpuri against evil air that are full of this world."[{{Cite web|last1=Han |first1=Dongyoon |url=http://weekly.khan.co.kr/khnm.html?www&mode=view&art_id=201709111622161&dept=116|title=[문화내시경]록음악은 살아있다|date=2017-09-19|website=[Weekly Kyunghyang](/source/Kyunghyang_Shinmun)|access-date=2023-10-06}}]
== Critical reception ==
Kim Dongseok of [Music Y](/source/Music_Y) reviewed the album as "Like a [screamo](/source/screamo) recited without screaming, the song becomes a sorcery and is constantly transformed differently with the riff," and the album was named the first place in 2017 Album of the Year.[{{Cite web|last1=Chung |first1=Byungwook |url=https://www.indiepost.co.kr/post/6238|title=당신이 알지 못했을지도 모르는 2017년 숨은 명반|date=2017-12-29|website=[Indiepost](/source/Indiepost)|access-date=2023-10-06}}] Cho Ildong, a member of the selection committee for the [Korean Music Awards](/source/Korean_Music_Awards), said "''Salpoori'' sounds like an aesthetics of contradiction and a hot gutpan that reproduces contradictory reality in a cutthroat way."
