The album collects the two EPs by Das Kinn, originally issued in 2020 and 2022 as limited 10" vinyl and cassette, both now sold out.
Die Knochen (2020) and Die Kanten (2022) were recorded at the Office du Pain studio in Frankfurt and mastered by Gavin Weiss in Hamburg. Menschen 1987 features additional vocals from Charlotte Simon, while Johanna Gauder performs alongside Simon on ASMR. Cover photography is by Monika Piel (Die Knochen) and Nicola Malkmus (Die Kanten), with the original EP artwork by Sofie Böhm. For the LP, Carmen Orschinski reworked these elements into a cohesive new design.
