Drawing inspiration from the circular beauty of landscapes and changing seasons, Hatakeyama designed the album to evoke the feeling of an archival film.
While recording the album, Hatakeyama reduced their production methods, using only one type of instrument for each track, be it a synthesizer or a guitar, for example.
Late spring follows the Gearbox release of the rare Don Cherry Cherry jam EP.
