Despite and indeed because of frontman Dave LeO?C?O?aupepeO?C?O?s fatherO?C?O?s absence, his influence permeates every talking point that album, O?C?y?angel in realtime.O?C?O?, offers. At times itO?C?O?s solely focused upon the precise, personal experiences of loss: the dichotomy of intensity and peace that comes as someone passes through their final days; the overwhelming feeling in the wake of their death that life will never be the same, even if the rest of the world at large remains utterly unchanged.

Although the album is eclectic - influences range from American minimalism and contemporary classical, to drawing upon the legacy of BritainO?C?O?s alternative/indie scenes, from drum O?C?y?nO?C?O? bass to the most transcendent moments of Britpop -- itO?C?O?s equally rooted in LeO?C?O?aupepeO?C?O?s Samoan heritage, with the majority of tracks featuring samples from David FanshaweO?C?O?s recordings of indigenous music from the Polynesian islands and the wider South Pacific. O?C?y?angel in realtime.O?C?O? also features contributions from a cast of talented Pasifika and Maori vocalists and instrumentalists.
