“It centers around a 4/4-time signature, but with a polyrhythm on top,” Wolfgang said in a press release. “I was teaching my fiancée what a polyrhythm is, and I stumbled upon this idea. The kick drums are accentuating it. It’s certainly one of my favorites and a completely different vibe than anything on the first album.”

Like he did on the band’s debut LP, Wolfgang plays every instrument on Mammoth II, due out on August 4. The lead single from the album, “Another Celebration at the End of the World,” dropped earlier this year.
