But he made it clear that his musical compass is constantly changing: “We had an album, we scrapped it and put out singles.”
Angello elaborated on the decision and explained the standard the trio maintains in the studio. Their relentless pursuit of artistic evolution is not surprising for a group that has redefined the electronic dance music landscape many times over.
“We always continue working on music, and when we feel like [what we have] “If it's good enough, we'll publish it,” he said. “As a creator, if you don't feel something, it won't see the light.”
