Tom Falle shared this about the album: “I wrote Love Apokalypto as a kind of Bonnie & Clyde story: despite the world burning around us, and the haters chasing us in their chariots, being in a relationship has provided me with a unique sense of invincibility. So here I am, celebrating my own romance amidst the apocalypse or, as the song puts it… Love Apokalypto.”

In the build up to the albums release Rhumba Club shared 4 videos, all of which directed by Charlie Pryor: “Video Game”, “Love Apokalypto”, “Beach Lizard” and “Perfect Queen”.

Tom Falle also shared this: “I’ve always been comfortable writing about sexuality, but generally shied away from writing directly about love and sex: inspired by the anti-commercial ethos of early Talking Heads records. I’ve always desperately tried to avoid the generic. On this record however, Mikko Gordon encouraged me to let loose and be comfortable writing about more traditional pop topics: love, lust, heartbreak. It was a challenge at first. I had to shake off my snobby predictions for a bit, and came to accept a simplifying process was probably necessary for me to make better pop. The Rhumba sound has evolved too. I call it a kind of queer New Wave.”
