WE, produced by Nigel Godrich, Win, and Régine, was recorded across New Orleans, El Paso, and Mount Desert Island. Clocking in at 40 minutes, the album distills the band’s longest uninterrupted writing period into seven songs exploring isolation, reconnection, and the forces that pull us from loved ones. Structured in two sides—Side “I” for fear and loneliness, Side “WE” for joy and reunion—the record’s arc moves from darkness into light. Its cover, a human eye by JR enhanced with Terry Pastor’s airbrush tinting, evokes Sagittarius A*, visually embodying the album’s themes.
