Explained simply
KING 810 are a heavy music band from Flint, Michigan, led by vocalist David Gunn. The group has released several albums and often draws on ideas and experiences connected to its hometown.
The new song refers to hyperreality, a concept associated with French philosopher Jean Baudrillard. It describes a world where images and representations can feel as real as, or more real than, direct experience; Gunn says the track uses that idea to consider whether love can remain genuine.
The album’s title echoes the band’s 2016 release, *La Petite Mort Or A Conversation With God*. It is their fourth full-length album of new material in 18 months, recorded in Flint with longtime producer Josh Schroeder.
