In an interview with The Guardian, the group stated that the different atmospheres of the record were inspired by the changes in the recording approach the group had to make during 2020, as well as emotionally heavy personal moments, including the passing of member Joba’s father by way of suicide: Abstract specifically mentioned how needing to be there for their brother helped them focus on the emotional core of the album. However, the band later shifted the album’s focus to have more rap and hip-hop elements. In a now deleted Tweet, Kevin Abstract revealed that ROADRUNNER was originally going to be a pop album, capitalizing off the success of their now platinum single “SUGAR,” from their previous album GINGER. On March 24, 2021, the lead single for the album, “BUZZCUT”, featuring Detroit rapper Danny Brown, was released. They’ve even used their official website to ask fans questions about it, such as “What does the light mean to you?” and “What’s the funniest story you’ve heard about the light?”. The band has been using the phrase “The light is worth the wait” during the album’s rollout. In March 2021, the band uploaded a video onto their website, with each member giving commentary on what “The Light” means to them. Henock Sileshi confirmed it as the album title through Instagram DM’s. Later on, fans discovered merchandise pictures with the name “ROADRUNNER” on it. I’m excited about it, it’s my favorite one yet. Maybe the fans will figure out what it is. I cant say much about it, but I can say the initials of it are ‘RR’. In a September 2020 interview with i-D when asked if they were working on a new album, Romil Hemnani initially revealed the abbreviation for the album (“RR”) stating: All CDs, cassettes, and other physical releases of the album feature four additional bonus tracks not available on streaming services. ROADRUNNER: NEW LIGHT, NEW MACHINE is part 2 of The Best Years of Our Lives trilogy and the sixth studio album by American super group BROCKHAMPTON.
