Working with so many different people and everything, it's made it out to be a really well-rounded album of a lot of different things. It's definitely grain, it's definitely groove- oriented. But it 's our most experimental album to date. We're very excited. We're all sitting around, When We listen to it, looking at each other going, ' I can not believe that's us. ' I think people are really going to dig it. "
