But then he backs up, and mentions how he’s been considering “The sheer magnitude of how impossible it is that we’re here, that we exist.

“Moon,” the tenth DMB studio album and their first in five years, is the group’s pandemic record, as social isolation and slow pace of life allowed Matthews to harness what he refers to as “selfish time”: “To wander a little bit further before someone else said, ‘That’s great.’ I could finish some ideas a little more before some other highly-qualified person got involved, so that gave me a little bit of freedom.” From there, the group spun new tunes together with old bits of songs that were kicking around, and synthesized the mix into “Moon.” It’s a process that Matthews jokingly refers to as “very disorganized.” Yet he subscribes to a mantra from Prince about the creative process, paraphrasing the pop mastermind by saying, “When you finish something, that’s when you know it’s right.” Even before the record was
