Puciato says the band wrote and recorded in a downtown Los Angeles slum and adds: "That played a big part in the sound - being in this desolate environment of urban blight, completely self-contained, making this heavily emotional music together."

He describes the band's work as bearing a "really visual soundtrack element" influenced by film-maker Stanley Kubrick. "We talked a lot about the feel of 80s sci-fi, the sort of 'used future' thing where it sounds alien but also familiar - and gives you nostalgia for a time you don't remember ever existing."
