That’s the kind of record I aspire to make with 808s III. We are trying to make a big, bombastic production, something that lies closer to a “real” “album.” One of the most classic rap records to me is ATLiens by Outkast. What we’re doing now is different from our early stuff we’re not doing “lo-fi” music at all. It’s becomes very self-affirming, makes me feel like we’re doing things right. It feels amazing, seeing the variety of responses to our work. I think a lot of what we do seems to be a sort of Rorschach Test in terms of mood, which is the way I like it. Both production and rap-wise, lots of the songs on 808s III are very emotional and almost “dark,” maybe?ĭylan Reznick: It’s interesting you responded that way about “Summa Time.” To me that song sounds tense, determined and dark for sure. I don’t think that turn was intentional by any means. James Laurence: Sitting on these songs for so long has definitely changed our view towards the music. It seems a world apart in mentality from your first tape. Do you feel as if a shift in mindset has occurred at all in the lengthy period of gestation? “ Summa Time,” for example, is a track seemingly custom built for a hot day a consciously more joyous turn. You’ve been working on some tracks for 808s & Dark Grapes III for more than two years.
