Notable Last November saw the release of Space Pope and the Glass Machine, a new 13-track album. The band traveled to Kingston, Jamaica, to record it.
Quotable "We didn't have a lot of expectations going in," Bergman said. "We wanted to make a record and it was about a vibe, and what better vibe could you get besides going down to Kingston?"
