It was recorded in late 2015, produced by Copeland at Pearl Studios, mixed by Skylar Adler at Skylar Ross Recording, and mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side Music. A ''Pirate!'' press release notes Copeland's "dry wit and daft cynicism unique voice and knowing personality." The record release show for ''Born with the Gift of Magic'' was held at Porta in Jersey City, New Jersey, on January 30, 2017, with Delicate Flowers and Desir Decir. A review by ''Jersey Beat'' says the arrangements are "dense and complex, both catchy and compelling." They note that the song "The Marquis" captures "Copeland stretch ngvocally to strike a spooky voodoo vibe that's accentuated by Naideck's tribal drumming and a incandescent guitar solo." The review closes with "you might say they're the kings of the florid frontier." Adam and the Plants performed at the North Jersey Indie Rock Festival, on September 23, 2017.
