There is this theory about the tonality of songs – that it's easiest to make a sad song, because working with minor chord is easier. That’s why techno is so depressing. So our challenge was to make fun electronic music without making it cheesy.
— Cassius on the bright and joyful feel of Ibifornia[13]
Cassius were inspired to produce an album with a bright, happy tone by their experiences of listening to the Bob Marley & the Wailers album Exodus (1977).[13] Their intention with Ibifornia was to create a "fun electronic music without making it cheesy", due to the abundance of dark and depressing electronic dance music popular at the time.[13] In coming up with a cheerful vibe for the LP, they decided that it would take place in a fantasy utopia land named Ibifornia.[13]
