The Menzingers sat down with Rolling Stone:
May: I don’t want to be cynical about it and be like, “Oh, we’ve been playing guitar for this long and it gets a little bit boring.” It doesn’t get boring. It’s fucking awesome, but there is a desire to incorporate some other instruments. Over the last couple of years, I personally got really into electronic music and I know the rest of the guys, we’ve all been listening to all kinds of things from all decades and we’re like, “Yeah, these sounds actually can be cool.” We just went for it and it’s still relatively subtle. It really helped us expand and it was really satisfying to open up some of those sonic doors that way.
