-
Produced
by
Nigel
Godrich,
Win
&
Régine,
and
recorded
in
multiple
locales
including
New
Orleans,
El
Paso
and
Mount
Desert
Island,
WE
paradoxically
distills
“the
longest
we’ve
ever
spent
writing,
uninterrupted,
probably
ever"
(per
the
band’s
Win
Butler)
into
a
concise
40
minute
epic
–
one
as
much
about
the
forces
that
threaten
to
pull
us
away
from
the
people
we
love,
as
it
is
inspired
by
the
urgent
need
to
overcome
them.
WE’s
cathartic
journey
follows
a
definable
arc
from
darkness
into
light
over
the
course
of
seven
songs
divided
into
two
distinct
sides
--
Side
“I”
channeling
the
fear
and
loneliness
of
isolation,
and
Side
“WE”
expressing
the
joy
and
power
of
reconnection.
On
the
album’s
cover,
a
photograph
of
a
human
eye
by
the
artist
JR
evokes
Sagittarius
A*,
the
supermassive
black
hole
at
the
center
of
the
galaxy.
This
stunning
image
--
embellished
by
the
distinctive
airbrush
color
tinting
of
Terry
Pastor
(utilizing
the
same
physical
technique
he
employed
on
David
Bowie’s
iconic
Hunky
Dory
and
Ziggy
Stardust
covers)
–
is
the
visual
expression
of
WE.
