Data Insight

Foster is on all eleven tracks with two of them his alone, the first sole credits since Supermodel. Isom Innis co-writes throughout and Paul Epworth returns as a producer, so the record is made by the same three people who shaped the two before it.

Paradise State of Mind came out on Atlantic in August 2024, the band's first album in seven years and their first for the label. It moves toward disco and synth-pop.
