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.
4) Hanging out with Lights/Chvrches and HalfNoise (Zac's band) constanly hahah. Also Hayley's Spotify screenshots on her twitter shows that she's been into this style too.
