Watching a movie to unwind after each day’s work, they soon found their songs reflecting the films and began investigating this connection in earnest. The resulting album is 14 songs (loosely) based on (mostly) popular films—highbrow, lowbrow, and everything in between. They wrote in tandem—one person writing a verse, the other a chorus, churning out chord progressions and lyrics willy-nilly, often finishing each other’s sentences in the process. Rigorous editing and rewriting ensued. The results are less a “cinematic exegesis” and more a “rambling philosophical inquiry” that allows the songs to free-associate at will. Plot-points, scene summaries, and leading characters are often displaced by esoteric interpolations that ask the bigger question: what does it mean to be human in a broken world?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Age_of_Adz\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttp:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Age_of_Adz\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e    Reach out\u003cbr\u003e    Lady Macbeth In Chains\u003cbr\u003e    Back To Oz\u003cbr\u003e    The Pillar Of Souls\u003cbr\u003e    You Give Death A Bad Name\u003cbr\u003e    Beginner’s Mind\u003cbr\u003e    Olympus\u003cbr\u003e    Murder And Crime\u003cbr\u003e    (This Is) The Thing\u003cbr\u003e    It’s Your Own Body And Mind\u003cbr\u003e    Lost In The World\u003cbr\u003e    Fictional California\u003cbr\u003e    Cimmerian Shade\u003cbr\u003e    Lacrimae\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3Il6QqW9FJ0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Asthmatic Kitty","offers":[{"title":"2010","offer_id":64315063730553,"sku":null,"price":7.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1463\/6153\/files\/Skaermbillede2021-10-19kl.06.18.51.png?v=1787207783","url":"https:\/\/vinyl-relic.com\/products\/kopi-af-stevens-sufjan-age-of-adz-1","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
