Claude says:Athlete built their own studio in Greenwich and self-produced this third record, mixing electronica with their rock foundation and tackling modern anxieties like war and climate change — critics were divided on whether the experiment worked. You stumbled across it near release but it didn't click until a year later in late 2008, when "Hurricane" and "Tokyo" finally made sense and you burned through the whole thing from spring 2009 forward, "In Between 2 States" and the strutting "Airport Disco" getting as much attention as the singles.
