Been a huge fan for the longest time after being recommended so many years ago (around Overworld I think?), and you guys have even help influence how I go about my own music. Heck, I even used your "Sharing is Caring" TED Talk as part of my University dissertation :D
As you've stated that Phantom Shadow is said to be a concept album, would you say this had changed the way you approach writing the lyrics to your songs, given how you're now writing an entire set of songs around one particular narrative (assuming this is the route you're going down of course), or has this always secretly been the case?
I've always liked to think that the songs in A View From the End of the World were all about particular video games (Rocket Dragon about Ridley from Metroid, Nova Prospekt about Half-Life 2, Action Girl about Tomb Raider, etc.) - are there any others that I may have missed, or is this a case of me imagining this in my head?
