Beckett posted the following message about the release:


"After releasing my EP trilogy and performing them live all year long, I wanted to jump into the studio and record raw, genuinely stripped down versions of each song. The Pioneer Sessions opens the window into the intimate, live studio performance setting that I wanted to share in honor of what has been a crazy and successful year. Enjoy."
