History

On May 8, 2020, Brockhampton hosted a password-protected livestream entitled Technical Difficulties Radio. As part of the stream, Kevin Abstract announced the release of two Brockhampton albums in 2020, along with the promise of weekly, non-album singles each Friday. The next day, "N.S.T" and "Things Can't Stay The Same" were released to the groups YouTube channel and website.[1][2] On May 10, "Things Can't Stay The Same" was reuploaded with different cover art, as the original cover used a painting by Jenna Gribbon without her approval.[3]

On May 16, the group followed up with "M.O.B" and "Twisted", released in the same manner as the previous singles. At the same time, "N.S.T" and "Things Can't Stay The Same" were deleted, a pattern that would continue for the remainder of the series.[4] On May 23, "I.F.L", "Downside", and "Baby Bull" were released, and the previous set of singles were made unavailable.[5] On May 30, the final set of singles, "Chain On/Hold Me" and "Fishbone", were released.[6]

The first half of "Chain/Hold Me", "Chain On", was included on the groups sixth studio album Roadrunner: New Light, New Machine, released on April 6, 2021.[7] On May 18, Abstract expressed a desire to officially release the remaining Technical Difficulties tracks, although he cited sample clearance as an obstacle.[8]

On November 18, 2022, "Man on the Moon" and "Keep It Southern", two tracks that were previewed during Technical Difficulties livestreams, were released as part of Brockhampton's final studio album, TM.
