Background

In an interview, saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings states that the music for Prophecy began out of jam sessions with Dan Leavers on synths and keys and Maxwell Hallett on drums. The band elaboate on this in an interview with The Quietus, saying how the music was composed in the studio whilst recording in a three-day session. They invited friends and guests into the studio, "referencing Parliament and Funkadelic and the way they recorded, with like a party going on in the studio". "Neon Baby" was initially released as a digital single accompanied by a music video featuring imagery from science fiction and B-movies, which can also be seen in the titles of the tracks on Prophecy. A music video for "Do The Milky Way" was released along with the album, premiering on The Quietus
