There’s
a big break in the album between “Come to your senses” and “Tropic of
cancer” (my favorite on this album). Is the middle of the album also the
moment of the meeting with
“the grim reaper”? The both sides are quite different (one very
urban-tensed, frenetic, the other more contemplative, like in a dark
water). You conceptualized these two parts?
Noah Lennox : The
middle of the album is definitely meant as the crux and the
transitional point. I was hoping that "Tropic of Cancer" and "Lonely
Wanderer" would represent the area in between
the old identity and the new one. As far as i’ve seen, it’s a cold and
barren place. The conceptualization came after the fact. Once we had
finished all the songs it was easier to try and find the story that the
sequence might tell. I guess I’m trying to say
I didn’t go into making the album thinking it would turn out this way.
But looking at the thing now I do feel like the first part of the album
represents an identity becoming disassembled to the point of psychosis.
Then the latter third of the album is the
reassembly.
