Music

Singer Kevin Barnes said the album's sound was influenced by 1980s-style "extended dance mixes" and explained that he "also decided to abandon the 'live band in a room' approach."[12] Barnes listed Angela Davis, Noam Chomsky, Chris Kraus, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Malcolm X, and Mark E. Smith as lyrical influences.[13]

gollark: And have had various security issues because apparently the entire thing is designed by bees. Why do we even *have* SIM cards?

gollark: Well, the entire phone network is apparently awful in a variety of ways.
gollark: > 1987 - Larry Wall falls asleep and hits Larry Wall's forehead on the keyboard. Upon waking Larry Wall decides that the string of characters on Larry Wall's monitor isn't random but an example program in a programming language that God wants His prophet, Larry Wall, to design. Perl is born.
gollark: Given that it doesn't mention hex, maybe it's in another context.
