-{{boc|[[Mike]]: When we started ''[[Geogaddi]]'',' we were aiming to make a complex and dark record. In the middle of working on that album, [[wikipedia:9/11|9/11]] happened while we were in the studio. We sank deeper into making a dark record to reflect that time. When we started this new album, we both felt the world had become even darker and more unpredictable than it was during [[wikipedia:9/11|9/11]]. Wars, terrorism, natural disasters were happening one after another. But our reaction was not to reflect that but to create an escapist record that stands in contrast to these times. Something more utopian and completely unrelated to the current state of the world.}}

-{{boc|[[Marcus]]: "We're heavily inspired by North American culture from the 70s to the early 80s, especially films and music from that period.

But now it's clear that it was like a neon rainbow. That symbolism influenced everything—from TV educational programs, sci-fi, music revolutions, and graphic design for the Olympics to summer camps, winter sports, and even "[[wikipedia:Sesame Street|Sesame Street]]." It's hard to put into words, but that era constantly fuels our energy."}}
