Background

After revisiting the pure ambient music explorations in 2007's Lullabies & Sleepless Nights (Ambient Guitar Noise: Volume 2), McCabe uses collaborators again for this high concept album which borrows inspiration from Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment and Mary Shelly's Frankenstein. This would be the first independent release for the band.

From March 2009 into December 2010, McCabe hosted the King Never Podcast in which he chronicled the recording of what became the album Possibilities. [2]

In April of 2012 music videos for The City and Gravity, both directed by Gerald Benesch were released via the King Never official YouTube channel. [3][4]

gollark: I think that's just for timing without reliance on external sources.
gollark: Anyway, given their estimate of the energy costs borne by the data centre end to stream a video, and the fact that Netflix makes money at their price point, their estimates can't actually be right.
gollark: So it is (a guess at) actual data movement.
gollark: By "total internet throughput" I mean "an estimate of monthly data transferred via the internet from Cisco".
gollark: Their methodology seems bad. They just take total internet power and divide by total internet data throughput.
