Claude says:Mae's major label debut was recorded with producer Howard Benson in late 2006, drawing on Pearl Jam, U2, and The Smashing Pumpkins — a heavier, more arena-ready sound than their Tooth & Nail years. The title came from a Paul Davies book about the singularity as "the interface between the natural and the supernatural," which sent the band into a season of questioning everything. A handful of stray plays in late 2007 didn't click, but it finally took hold for you in May 2008 — "Crazy 8s" and "Sic Semper Tyrannis" became fixtures through 2010, then you kept pulling it back in bursts across the 2010s and early 2020s.
