Yannis Philippakis (frontman)'s thoughts

'Ikaria'
"It's called 'Ikaria' because that's the island Icarus was sent to when he flow too close to the sun. Icarus is a great metaphor and myth for what's happening with the world right now, I think. Where through all our technological processes and supposed advancement, we're actually at the point where we might undo ourselves, facing extinction. So I liked that it connected to the Greek imagery, but also taps back into the deeper themes in the album. It's a moment of respite that allows you to take a breath. It also segues into the more dreamlike second half. When we were sequencing the record, we just felt it was a perfect trajectory to end the record. It goes from the darker, edgier first half into getting ready to depart and finish everything."
