Brian Reitzell that said "he was working on a new movie and he was wondering if [the band] would be interested in doing music for it." The members were familiar with the book on which the movie was based, and were raised in its setting ofWest Texas . Despite having access to "all sorts of rare equipment", the band stuck to its usual songwriting style. [cite web
