Discussing the album, Powers mentioned that the album is “unapologetically me” and traverses a big selection of genres, together with “various, digital, and neo-classical genres.”
“Bits and items of this file had been sitting round in my archives for so long as I’ve been engaged on The Bare And Well-known,” he mentioned, “however the first absolutely realized track was “Li.” After I completed that demo, I knew I’d discovered my middle – my sound. The band was on hiatus, and it was the primary lockdown of 2020, so I assumed, “If not now, when?!”
“When making music for myself, I don’t want to consider what I’m doing. I make my parameters and guidelines as I’m going. It’s fairly a circulate state. With out being acutely aware of it, I’m drawing from each track, album, and soundtrack I’ve ever cherished.”
Baker seems on two songs throughout the album., one among which is ‘Empty Voices’. Explaining how the collaboration happened, Powers mentioned: “In the course of the quiet of lockdown, I reached out to Julien, whom I had linked with years prior. It was an honor when she expressed curiosity in singing on ‘Empty Voices.’
“Julien recorded her components and a handful of improvisations remotely. Initially, she sang in unison in the course of the refrain, however I’m a stickler for a well-arranged duet, so I requested if she had time to leap within the sales space to file some harmonies in LA. We met up, blasted by way of it, and spent most of our studio time ingesting beers up a hill in Echo Park, watching the sundown.”
In 2021, Powers’ bandmate Alisa Xayalith shared her debut solo single, ‘Excessive Constancy’.
