He tells this month's Prog magazine: "I did go in with the attitude that this could be our last album. It's taken nearly four years to get this one down. I wanted to make sure the end product was something I was completely pleased with.

"I'm very aware that because it's quite different from the post-rock sound we've done before, it could completely flop. But it's important that if it does, I'd still be happy with it."
