«It was the easiest thing to not make choices and put it all on a double album and be done with it but after that with the tour not happening and the distribution company going down. It was a weird year, 2009. I could spend more time and let the album be out of my head for a while and once I got back to it I could see patterns and themes to make it easier to divide it into two. And since it has a retro vibe going I didn't want the albums to be too long and dividing them up seemed more in character with the album.»
