Post Script is marketed as the final official album of The Fall. The album is scheduled for release on 2 October on CD, black vinyl, limited edition white vinyl, and digital formats. A digital single titled 30 Degrees was released in June. The record contains unused studio vocals recorded between 2001 and 2014, with music added later by Ed Blaney and Simon Ding Archer.

Ed Blaney played in The Fall in the early 2000s and later became the tour manager, manager, and friend of the band. Blaney stated that the record was made to be a fitting tribute to Mark Smith and The Fall, adding that the album is released under the name The Fall because the vocals were recorded as The Fall. Simon Ding Archer was the bassist for the band during 2003-4 and produced or engineered eight of the last nine albums by The Fall. Archer argued that these recordings are The Fall songs and noted that the statement calling Post Script the final LP of unheard studio recordings used the word final in that sense.

Pamela Vander stated that Mark E Smith decided New Facts Emerge was the final album. Rob Ayling said the album speaks for itself, while Archer did not answer questions.
