Production

[edit | edit source]

After seeing on exhibition in 2018, Andy Bell was inspired by the work and thinking of American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. One symbol that Basquiat incorporated into his work was three slashes '///'.[13] This was based upon historic graffiti markings used by American hobos to indicate an unsafe place.[14] This influenced the album name and cover artwork. Basquiat is also referenced in the lyrics of Repetition.[15][16][17]

Bell stated that the album was influenced by the likes of Sonic Youth and the Fall and by "post-punk in general, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Public Image Ltd".[17]
