Daniel worked on Can Such Delightful Times Go On Forever?—the follow-up to Is It Going to Get Any Deeper Than This?—with his husband and Matmos bandmate M.C. Schmidt, guitarist Bill Orcutt, and many others. On the new album, according to a press release, “Daniel probes the limitations of pleasure in the midst of our dystopian contemporary landscape.”
