A7X's upcoming 8th album will draw from the existential text of Albert Camus' 1942 philosophical novella 'The Stranger' which centers on an emotionally detached and amoral anti-hero Meursault, who, shortly after his mother's funeral, kills a unnamed man in Algiers, & then faces his own execution for the crime with a sense of peace, accepting the meaninglessness of life and death in an absurd universe. "Nobody" appears to play on these themes, with even its title a seeming nod to Meursault's status as a "stranger" not only to society but also to himself.
