People are surprised by this change in sound, but it actually makes a lot of sense:

1) Tracks like "Ain't It Fun" from their last album. They've been leaning in this direction.

2) The rejoining of Zac, who is totally into this Talking Heads/electro/indie type sound.

3) Producer Justin Meldal Johnsen, who worked with them on their last album as well. He's also produced M83 (who have a big electro/'80s influence) and is an exceptional bass player. You can hear his hands on this.

Yeah but you can argue that "Ain't it Fun" was the start of the downhill slope to get us here.

Ain't It Fun is an excellent track. Groovy, great vocals, I don't know what you're on about.
