The album’s artwork, a creation by the California photographer John Divola, exemplifies the duality that defines Allah-Las’ music. The stark contrast between the natural beauty of a sunset and the man-made destruction of an abandoned apartment offers a visual representation of the band’s quest for balance. “It goes together symbolically in a way,” Michaud says. “As we progress and the sounds change, there’s a little bit of a darker element that has crept in and that balance is probably most apparent on this record.” This duality is expressed in the song title “GB BB,” which stands for “Good Baby, Bad Baby,” but it’s most vividly done through the angel and devil on either shoulder, emphasizing the band’s pursuit of creative symmetry.

Independence has been the linchpin of Allah-Las’ creative journey. The band established their own record label Calico Discos, and fostered a partnership with local label Innovative Leisure to get their music to the masses. Their commitment to nurturing a close-knit musical family echoes their desire to offer a helping hand to friends seeking opportunities in their careers. Michaud summarizes their approach, saying, “We wanted to help out some of our friends who might otherwise not know how to break into the industry at this stage of their careers.”

Allah-Las’ evolution is a testament to the ever-evolving nature of artists, crafting a well-balanced blend of musical transformation and creative liberation. With their latest, it remains clear that their readiness to adapt, explore, and remain true to their roots has indelibly shaped their musical path.
