The trio said releasing two albums in the same year was the result of "an extended burst of creativity", "We basically got into the studio and just went crazy — the creativity was flowing so much and we recorded so many songs. We got to the point where we showed the label what we were working on, and they were like, 'This is too dope to just put out one'. So we decided to split it up, and since the last album was The Sun, we went with a moon concept for these ones." [6]
