Production

edit

For Those of You Who Have Never... was produced by Brian Leeds under the pseudonym "Huerco S." in his Brooklyn apartment.[11] The album is a work of ambient music, which was a stylistic departure from his first album, the more rhythmic and techno oriented Colonial Patterns (2013).[12][13] He decided to stop using external samples as in his earlier work, seeking new ways to express himself.[11]
