On the making of ‘After Dark’: Sneaky had been working on a string arrangement inspired by bat calls. At the same time Parker was playing with bat samples at ultra low/slow pitches, making them almost birdlike, haunting and melodic. The samples became part of his beat patterns and combined with Sneaky’s strings perfectly with very little editing. A similar thing happened with the frogs. After falling in love with their calls too, Parker was inspired to gather more samples. He found the funk of the frogs fit perfectly with some of Sneaky’s other string parts. Bats & frogs were now part of the band! Throw in a lizard for good measure and ‘After Dark’ was born.
