We Are All, the band’s eighth and newest studio album, offers plenty of emotional range and musical richness both for committed Phronesis fans and new listeners alike. But in its title and scope, it also seeks to focus attention on an important message of togetherness and balance beyond the one they demonstrate on the bandstand.

Tym razem zespół prezentuje sześć kompozycji (po dwie napisane przez każdego z członków tria) nagranych w kwietniu w kopenhaskim studiu The Village.
Ideą przewodnią nowej płyty jest autorski komentarz członków zespołu do nurtujących ich kwestii. Każda kompozycja to kolejny kontekst, kolejny temat.
„Matrix for D.A.” jest hołdem dla Douglasa Adamsa, brytyjskiego pisarza, autora kultowej powieści s-f „Autostopem przez Galaktykę”.
