The album features many contributors, including Oneontrix Point Never, Yo La Tengo, Giant Swan, clipping. and Marisa Anderson.
The latest release is described by the band as:
“a kind of safari into the visual unconscious”
Drew Daniel elaborates on the making of ‘No Concept’:
“When quarantine started we turned our dining room table into a “collage station” and just piled up an enormous amount of paper ephemera that was around the house and started to chop it up and create visual collages with glue-sticks. Pulling from a bank of 50 or so collages, M.C. Schmidt scanned them at high-resolution and then created a kind of “pan and scan” animation by moving across elements and flying through layers from these collages, effectively creating an animated collage-of collages out of still images. This is a direct visual analogue to the collaborative group collage principle that created the music.”
