Resultantly, the report expertly traverses digital to synth pop, crossing trip-hop and rock sensibilities between, all threaded collectively by a easy, collective want to try to make sense of life’s ups and downs. Following a interval of massive life modifications, personally and for these round them, the band had been compelled to craft an area for escape inside the report; on the dancefloor, in a competition crowd, or inside the headphones at dwelling – wherever that escape could also be required.

In that point I had a baby, folks round me fell out and in of relationships, the world went by way of a worldwide pandemic and there was a myriad of social and political upheaval. So I suppose there’s been a good bit on my thoughts, and for me making this album has been a manner of processing all of it.
Stylistically everybody within the band cherished the sonic palette of the final album. It felt clear, trendy and emotive, however nonetheless like Reduce Copy. We tried to maintain that trendy method, however flip it into one thing extra energetic, psychedelic and euphoric; seeing how that method may evolve and work on a dance ground, not simply an ambient context… Dance music is about connecting with each other in spite of everything. Euphoria bubbles away below the floor in many of the songs and I feel that’s the Reduce Copy DNA shining by way of.”

We had talked for years in regards to the concept of singing that includes a youngsters’s choir, and after writing the primary half of the music in my studio on synths and a drum machine, I drove from Melbourne into the nation to a main college the place a good friend was a music instructor and spent a day recording a choir concept that grew to become the premise of the second half of the music. Instantly with the addition of the youngsters’s voices, the music had gone from a sketch into one thing magical. The music is a couple of relationship that has began to unravel. But additionally a bit extra globally about looking for empathy when events are dealing with in seemingly reverse instructions. Over the course of the music, the temper progresses from battle to a form of truce-like decision. As people typically it’s onerous to search out frequent floor when damage runs deep, however because the music says, ‘we’re extra the identical than you’ll ever know.’”
