Talking about the record in a press release, guitarist Tad Kubler said, “I think this is a guitar heavy record. But I would NOT say this is a heavy guitar record. The main objective being not to make the same record as the one previous. I love Boys and Girls and Stay Positive. But they have a very similar feel and sound.” He also cited jazz composer Terence Blanchard and Jon Brion as influences. Meanwhile, singer-lyricist Craig Finn calls Heaven Is Whenever “less anthemic and more complex.” Sounds like there may not be as many “whoa-oh-oh” hooks this time, eh?
