In a 2011 interview with The Quietus, Daniel Stewart explained that he had been reading Friedrich Nietzsche for his honours thesis at the time of the recording for Henge Beat. "I was like, 'I don't want this record to comes across as another contribution to the general theorem of, like, apocalyptic fantasies' and those kinds of things. Because I think that every generation likes to imagine that it's the last generation". Young added, "What I really wanted to say was that this is so narcissistic, this fantasy that we're the last people that are going to experience human thought or whatever. It's just a pattern of human culture that continually generates this terror that our death represents the death of everything. It's ridiculous."[1]
