Concept

The EP was inspired, according to Tobin, by science fiction space exploration films and the works of composers John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, and György Ligeti.
Tobin describes the creation process:

Packaging

As part of Record Store day, it will be released on two singled sided heavyweight 180g with etched markings, encased in a white, branded, rubber wheel and housed in a transparent plastic box designed by Alexander Brown. The physical product was also inspired by the golden discs launched with both Voyager spacecraft in the 1977. However, due to shipping delay by UPS, the release date of Dark Jovian was pushed back to May 5 in North America so it will no longer be available to purchase in stores on Record Store day.
