Nee, het was geen vooruitziende blik van Okabe. Liedje New World gaat namelijk over “alienation through technological innovation”.
How although we’re more connected than we’ve ever been, sometimes it can feel like we’re more disconnected than ever before. The lyrics came while I was watching a group of dogs playing together in a park while their owners were all standing together staring at their phones, devoid of any contact. It was also the first time I’ve recorded every instrument in the studio so that was a fun and challenging process for me.
En dat doet hij op een manier die het midden houdt tussen Arctic Monkeys, Broken Bells, Dan Auerbach (soms horen we dat in de vocals) en Tame Impala. En dat maakt New World bijzonder prettig om naar te luisteren.
