Inspiration and production

[edit | edit source]

Pascal Arbez said in an interview with MusicRadar that "I was only using a very basic and punk studio setup" for this album. "Polkamatic" was composed as a lullaby for his first son, born during the making of the album. For the track "Repair Machines", he was trying to emulate the style of Chris Korda's vocal sampling. "The Past" was inspired by Jean-Michel Jarre.[3]
