On March 3, 2014, during the Oscars, he unexpectedly released the first track from the album, "Sea of Voices", which was available on SoundCloud and emerged into a worldwide trend on Twitter.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Listen: Porter Robinson - Sea of Voices )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Music -- Porter Robinson: "Sea of Voices" )〕 This was the first track to exhibit his drastic change in style from his previous material, showing off an ambient style.
