The more you make records, the more you dig deep, frontman Thomas Mars tells EW.

You attempt to recreate things that are very pure.

We want to write awkward, French, American-twisted lyrics that nobody understands.

To create our own language is a goal.

You think, Is what were doing worth it?

Does it make sense to keep going?

I think it makes sense in the end.

When we were playing theBankrupt!songs live, it wasnt a full-body experience.

They new songs are more physical.

Everything we recorded is the first take, the first idea.MARS:We reject it.

Whether you like it or not, its always a reaction to the previous record.

Describe the album in one word.MAZZALAI:Jete.MARS:When you throw dice, and its luck.
