It was such a beautiful moment in time, when these different styles of music were crossreferencing each other artists like Nile Rogers and Chic, the Tom Tom Club and Giorgio Moroder,34 says Mark Foster.34I wanted to dive into that and figure out what they were doing. I was also thinking about how that era hasmusical and social parallels to the time that we039re in now, with the giant recession in the Seventies, thepolitical turmoil postVietnam, and other major tensions. But then you see these expressions of joyhappening through music, and I started thinking about joy as an act of defiance.34The albums artwork, commissioned by Foster, was originally an oil painting on panel, created by renownedBrooklyn based artist, Matt Hansel. It captures the essence of different spaces in the mind. Each spacerepresents its current state and leads to another that may have a totally different feeling.
