“There’s one thing actually hopeful and uplifting about it from a musical aesthetic. The item was to get slightly extra dancey and slightly extra enjoyable. As a lot as we preferred how proggy the final Arcadea album was, it jogged my memory of what I already do in Mastodon. We wished to discover the thought of doing one thing completely different. So, I wished to essentially think about groove and dance and embracing the digital side of it.”
