Brown identity has been explored academically and both discussed and reported in a wide variety of contexts, being both an indigenous and diasporic concept, as well as a pluralistic phenomenon with overlapping, separate, and competing sub-factors. University of New Mexico's Vinay Harpalani has explored the concept in depth, observing that despite variance of skin tone, whether darker or lighter, skin color gradation normally "does not appear to play a major role for South Asian Americans claiming a Brown identity". Despite some identification outside binaries of color, Harpalani has demonstrated how the identity does allow a distinction between certain white and black identities: > For South Asian Americans, claiming Brownness allows them to establish a > separate racial identity for themselves—one that is independent of White and > Black Americans, but parallels those groups by employing a color-designated > identity. Dr Kumarini Silva has theorized how brownness and brown identity has, at times, even served as a cultural distraction from black-white race relations in the United States.

Crampton began composing American Drift in 2012 while living in Roanoke and Richmond, Virginia, and was further producing the album in La Paz, Bolivia in 2014. The album was created as part of a project to describe the experience of prehistoric and precolonial history in direct relation to African-American history and Aymara history, as well as Christian faith and ontology. Crampton was inspired by Southern hip hop and crunk, Bolivian and Peruvian prog, metal and psych, trival/tribal- guarachero, black spirituals and early blues, psychedelic folk, and neo- classical music, as well as her brother's avant-garde records, and her grandfather's collection of huayno and cumbia tapes. She also cited late writer José Esteban Muñoz's writings on brownness, which she correlated with the Earth and its geology.
