Following 2015's critically lauded Such Things, the new album's name is rooted in remembrance, referencing the Genesis story of Lot's wife who looks back at a burning Sodom after God instructs her not to. She looks back, and God turns her into a pillar of salt. ""Na,"" meanwhile, is the chemical symbol for sodium. ""Nah"" is a passive refusal and the universal song word. It means nothing and stands for nothing. It is ""as it is."" Musically, Pillar of Na is Saintseneca's most ambitious album to date, with Little aiming to incorporate genre elements he'd rarely heard in folk.
