Coyne discloses the new material's vibe is different from previous studio polished albums such as 2002's "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" and "At War with the Mystics."
Among the new songs currently in the mix are the Joy Division-meets-Miles Davis Group (John McLaughlin era)-sounding "Convinced of the Hex" and the John Lennon-inspired "I Don't Understand Karma," which Coyne describes as his response to "Instant Karma."
