Unlike previous releases, V is not solely an instrumental album. Five tracks are instrumental; the other three feature vocals from Year Long Disaster frontman Daniel Davies. As with previous albums, the instrumental tracks are titled with numbers and vocal tracks are titled with words. The album title is derived from the Roman numeral of five.
