Although the band has worked with vocalists, League described Snarky Puppy as "a pop band that improvises a lot, without vocals".

It won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards. According to Michael League, each song on the album is about a different forest.
