What have the artists said about the album?
In an interview with Pitchfork, the group said:
It became clear that we were limited by our own disability to hold a groove the way we wanted for more than eight or 16 bars. Something we love about disco is the idea of playing the same groove over and over again—your brain can tell it’s not a sample that’s being replayed. […] The idea of working with musicians was way beyond making it sound better. It was an opportunity to create something on a very personal level with people that we admire the most. […] That’s how you did it in the old days—when a person is paying you top dollar, you want to make sure that they’re happy and they don’t have to call you back. So I just bombarded them with ideas and said, “OK, now you guys figure that shit out.”
