The actual reason that it’s called “(Music for Cars)” is because…I wasn’t going to tell anybody, but there was a song called “Hnscc,” which was an ambient piece of music about death, the death of one of my family members, that was on the [2013] EP Music for Cars. And “The End” is a reinvention of that, basically an orchestral version. And yeah, “Music for Cars” has kind of become the umbrella title for this whole era.
Yes! The official visualizer was released May 23, 2020, a day after the release of Notes On A Conditional Form.
I’ve always talked about the end of this album as the end of an era. These 4 albuns, the building of that community to the place that it’s in now: the culture, the filters, the tattoos. It was an era. I’m always thinking about where the clean lines are in regard to us stepping into a new era.
