Camp Cope's "The Opener" comes from How to Socialise & Make Friends, the Australian alt-rock trio's second album, which Poison City Records put out on 2 March 2018. Kelly-Dawn Helmrich, Georgia Maq and Sarah Thompson share the music credit, and Maq wrote the words.
AllMusic's Timothy Monger heard a plain, near lo-fi record built on the sound of three musicians playing live in a room, and songs that are melodic and bittersweet but often tip over into catharsis and bruised fury. He picked "The Opener" as one of its standouts, a showcase for vocals that mix fragility with menace and come out raw and unsettling. That same year the trio took Best Band at the Music Victoria Awards.
