What a cool album cover!

Gotta admit I’ve never heard this. Listened to the first track and know what rabbit hole I’ll be crawling into this evening.

Check this out per the Spotify band bio:

The album's concept revolved around a diary that had been found in a repossessed car by Ward (he held a day job as an occasional repo-man.) The unknown author of the diary appeared to be a grown adopted child searching for their birth parents; he may also have suffered from mental illness caused by the death of a loved one. The lyrics for each track on the album are loosely based on characters and life events described in this person's diary. Rodríguez-López composed the instrumental parts; he also arranged and produced the sessions. He employed a studio technique credited to Miles Davis: He refused to let the other members hear one another's recorded parts, or even the musical context of their own part, and instead had them play to a metronome. His bandmates were forced to perform each individual segment as if it were a self-contained song.
