This might be the kind of thing you would listen to if you were driving on some lonesome highway where you could see the horizon for miles.

Tom Fec (Black Moth Super Rainbow, Tobacco): "I don’t like music that’s all one thing, because I think it’s corny no matter what you’re doing. We’re not that simple, and we shouldn’t be listening to stuff that’s so straightforward."

Matmos: "I think that, with this project, moments of alignments I feel with Martin have this strange comic edge of, 'Ah-ha! Telepathy is real!'"

Good Willsmith: "Being crammed together in a van for three weeks and thousands of miles this summer cemented our eternal friendship, for sure."

Haley Fohr (Circuit Des Yeux): "I feel myself transforming, and coming into myself."
