The album’s eclectic identity stems from Webb’s immersion in a vast array of new global music, which he encountered daily through his
Sungenre project. The influx of influences sparked an unrestrained approach to his own music, resulting in tracks that freely cross musical boundaries. Working largely in solitude, Webb experimented with loops and samples from his extensive catalogue of demos, pushing his creative limits. Only keyboardist Daniel Mougerman—who performed alongside Webb in his 2015 live band—joins the production, adding a rich layer of keys that deepens the album’s expansive soundscape.
Through
Exotic Erotic Concoction, Webb grapples with themes of escapism and introspection, captured in track titles alluding to pharmaceuticals and the pervasive search for relief in an anxious world. Freed from lyrical constraints, Webb’s intricate compositions become a meditative soundtrack, inviting listeners to interpret and navigate their own narratives within the music’s shifting atmospheres.
