there is a certain amount of harkening back to an older sound unintenionally due to their own catalogs of guitar tunings
the first example of this was on Nurse, when particularly Thurston used GGDDD#D# on a couple of tracks like Pattern Recognition, which is also used for songs like Brother James, Bull in the Heather, etc so there is a "SY Sound" certainly based on that principle
the new Track "Mars" sounds like it is using tunings held over from some of the DDN tracks they had playing the last 2 years, so in that sense there is an air of Déjà vu
