Sound engineer Olivier Gerard mixed the tracks at Jet Studio, Brussels. The intro "Reel" was mixed by guitarist Charlie Burchilll and consisted of brief snippets of songs from the era, edited together eventually leading into "I Travel" as the band took to the stage. This short piece of music was made available to download for free from the simpleminds.com members section prior to the album's release.
Lyrically and musically, Ocean is a sort of art-school everyman, a personality type closer to first-album Aloe Blacc, say, than currently dominant R&B archetypes like Drake or Trey Songz. On one skit, his girl gets annoyed with him for playing Radiohead all the time, and his tracks tend to unfold as incidentally funny day-to-day musings rather than churchy testaments. He's got a calm, easy voice and an understated gift for melody that turns the album into an incredibly pleasant spring-afternoon sort of thing. But what unites Ocean with his Odd Future colleagues is an eye for squishy, uncomfortable, revealing truth. "Novacane" is a loving sort of drug-story song. As it opens, Ocean meets a girl at Coachella: "She says she wanna be a dentist really bad/ She's in school, paying for tuition doing porn in the valley-- at least she working"-- and that's offered as a simple aside. On another song, a sexually aggressive Nicole Kidman monologue from Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut interrupts things.
