As for the way the brand new materials would possibly sound, Windstein beforehand mentioned in an interview with Concrete Spew that new Down is sounds loads like outdated Down. In order that’s excellent news.
“It simply seems like Down,” mentioned Windstein. “I imply, it sounds refreshing as a result of we have not carried out it in so lengthy, gotten along with me and the blokes and carried out it in — fuck — 12 years or one thing. So it seems like Down, I believe, to me, it sounds extra old-school Down. And the explanation I say that’s I believe we bought to a degree the place… Like, the NOLA report is so easy, and it simply wrote itself; it was so easy. And that is how that is coming about, which is nice.
“We’re not overthinking it. We’re not making an attempt to make issues too complicated. Phillip‘s not making an attempt to put in writing so many lyrics and issues. We simply sort of bought away — I hate to say ‘bought away’, ‘trigger something we do is Down, however, to me, we sort of bought a bit bit… We wanted to return and take a look at one another and simply go, ‘Let’s simply get in a room and do it like we did from the start.’ And that is what it feels wish to me. It is very magical. The concepts and the working collectively, simply bounce off of each other, it is a pure factor.”
