That deep funk throat, pause.
Pitchfork: Why do you feel like this your strongest album sonically?
BB: I'm doing a lot of different things with my voice, it's more melodic. The first song I started singing on was "Elevators", but this is the real singy-singy. I call it my funk throat-- I utilized a lot of my funk throat a lot on this album. And I had people to bounce off of, like Yukimi [Nagano, from Little Dragon], or Sarah [Barthel] or Josh [Carter] from Phantogram. Just really having fun, man, like a van full of Pakistans. Every album has been an experimentation process. There are just different characters this time. Like, Yukimi's Aquarius, I'm Aquarius, Sarah's Aquarius-- there was a certain type of zodiac energy going on.
