According to the band's frontman Cadão Volpato, the album's name is a nod to the English post-punk band The Durutti Column's 1980 debut, The Return of the Durutti Column.

The track "Outro Endereço, Outra Vida" features samples of English disc jockey John Peel's voice.

"Zäune" is sung by Thomas Pappon, entirely in German.
