Guitarist Dietrick Hardwick commented: "Michael Wagener is the perfect producer to guide Mindcage in bringing our vision of the Steam-Prog culture to the world through the story of Arabella Vash. The band is very excited to stay in Nashville the entire month of December and work with Michael Wagener to complete this extraordinary vision.”
According to a press release: “Set in an alternate history of a highly plausible future, Mindcage's ground-breaking concept album, Our Own Devices warns of what may become of our society if we turn our backs on the importance of arts, music, humanities, and spirituality. It also introduces the world to Arabella Vash, a woman on a mission to awaken and enlighten a world gone wrong. Her message is sure to shake humanity to its very core.”
