(from an interview with Rickly...)

I feel like there's a huge influence from the Nation Of Ulysses regarding the aesthetic, the song titles and even the band name.
Absolutely. Actually, we're working on a kids record right now called United Nations Plays Pretty For A Bunch Of ****ing Babies, which is gonna be all the same songs from the full-length, but done [like] Kidz Bop jams.

[Cracking up.] Seriously?
Seriously. As serious as that idea could possibly be. That's how serious this is. [Rickly later clarified that kids will not actually be singing on the record, but more accessible, child-pandering vocals and novelty instruments such as xylophones will be utilized. He drew a comparison to the Wiggles as an example.]

Is Eyeball putting that out too?
I'm not sure. It might come free with the first 1000 or 2000 orders, and then never be printed again. So it's just like a thing that people who are excited about it in the first place [get], and everybody else [will miss] out on.

Get pumped.
