It&#8217;s a complete opposite of <em>The Overview<\/em>, which was a very lush, very big record and also about a very large \u2014 well, the largest possible subject matter you can imagine, literally the cosmos as we know it. This is a much more insular record.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s still very conceptual. It&#8217;s still very experimental, and the pieces are \u2014 well, it feels like another single piece of music to me, in that sense. But it&#8217;s much more angular and experimental in a way that I&#8217;m really excited about. And that&#8217;s all I can really say at the moment.
