We were just jamming, like this is for us,” Auerbach explained. The raw and primal energy captured in the music reflects a moment of vulnerability for the band. Auerbach attributed this rawness to a desire to channel their emotions through music. “Really primal, in a moment when all the nerves were raw, just kinda screaming. We were going through a lot, trying to lift our spirits,” he added. Auerbach also shared a personal motivation for the intensity of the album, revealing that his father’s illness had a profound impact on his approach to the music. “I think my dad getting sick made me not give a f*** and just wanna scream for a bit,” he reflected.
