Luminal features 11 tracks with Lateral being split into eight ambient movements, each one titled “Big Empty Country.” Eno and Wolfe revealed the list of words from their languages that solidified their artistic process.

Music is about making feelings happen… There are many beautiful words for such feelings in other languages and cultures — words that don’t exist in English,” they said. “By giving a feeling a name, we make that feeling more likely to be felt, more tangible.” Some of those words include the Italian commuovere (“the experience of being moved”) and the Arabic term ya’aburnee (“not wanting to live in a world without someone”),” stated both artists. 

Both albums are said for released in June 2025 with the singles “Suddenly” and “Big Empty Country” currently available on major platforms.
