Duo aims for music that 'emphasizes connections between life forms'
Briefly

"The main thrust of the album is that we are all symbionts. The record emphasizes connections between life forms... human life that we no longer have access to."
'Symbiont' is a scientific way of trying to express an understanding of our self that is central to my people's philosophy. We live in nonlinear time... symbiosis with all cycles of time.
Blount emphasizes their collaborative process, describing it as two musicians orbiting each other conceptually. They built on shared ideas and archival work.
The album opens with a fictional news bulletin by Blount's mother, creating a unique narrative that sets the tone for the exploration of 'symbionts'.
