Prior to its release, the duo said, "I feel like this record is more stripped back than a lot of music we've made before. It's not like James Blake minimal but it's definitely more simplified. The title is Dark Night Sweet Light [and] it's a night record, city lights, up moments but some melancholy drifts throughout".[3]
