Music and themes

Upon its release, Mixmag compared "Young Melody" to the "smooth lounge vibes of PNAU's sublime debut LP Sambanova".[3] Pnau said of "Into the Sky": "It is a song that wrote itself. We like to think that it captures the ambition, angst and ambivalence we held as teenagers."[2] Nick Littlemore commented that the trio had been influenced by Happy Mondays for the song.[4] Al Newstead of ABC called "Into the Sky" a "fuzzy, distorted drum heavy track that [...] tak[es] inspiration from the 'Madchester' '90s dance scene".[4] He also labeled "Young Melody" a "blissful dance" track, and noted the "4am rave vibes" of "Control Your Body".[4] Amnplify described "Control Your Body" as having "enigmatic instrumentation and vocals before settling into a deep rhythmic groove – a true acid workout and a nostalgic homage to the bands [sic] formative rave days".[12]

"Chameleon" was additionally called a "festival favourite and dance floor anthem".[12]

Album title

The album is named after Changa, the DMT-infused smokeable form of ayahuasca.[3]
