On May 18, in an interview on Zane Lowe's show Beats 1, he announced the title of his upcoming album and released an accompanying single, " Big Fish". On January 3, 2017, Staples announced that he would release a song called "BagBak" on February 2, 2017. It began on February 24, 2017, in San Diego, California, and ended on April 9 of the same year, in Phoenix, Arizona. On November 29, 2016, Staples announced he would go on a 2017 tour in promotion of Big Fish Theory, the Life Aquatic Tour, alongside Kilo Kish. However, it may have more in common with The Life of Pablo, which combined elements of Yeezus ' avant-garde structure with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy 's tortured look at fame". Brian Josephs of Spin thought that " Big Fish Theory 's whiplash sonic shifts and industrial makeup will make comparisons with Kanye West's Yeezus easy. There's slo-mo techno, dystopian G-funk, field recordings, growling industrialism abstract, icy grooves more indebted to Berlin than Atlanta." AllMusic described the record as "a skittish thought piece wrapped around the nucleus of the Chicago footwork sound". He's always had a taste for harsh electronic funk, and he embraces that creative urge more eagerly than ever. NME said: " bleak lyrical brilliance is perfectly matched by Big Fish Theory 's experimental production. īig Fish Theory 's lyrics are nihilistic and touch on politics, suicide, racism and success and fame. "Party People" has "stuttering" and syncopated tom-toms. "Crabs in a Bucket" has wind, a police siren, ambient tape hiss, vocal chops and synthesizers. Similarly, Justin Moran of Out said the album "fuses avant-garde electronica with aggressive hip-hop" and HipHopDX described it as "one of the more avant-garde projects backed by Def Jam". Rolling Stone characterized the album as an " avant-garde dance record that takes stock of his current loves, victories, politics and – most noticeably – interest in the cutting edge of electronic music".
The album contains "terse and percussive" beats. Composition and lyrics īig Fish Theory is a hip hop album, with several publications noting that the album leans toward electronic club music genres such as house and Detroit techno. Los Angeles producer Zack Sekoff, who has production credit on five of the songs on the album, sourced inspiration when on a semester abroad in London from artists such as Burial, James Blake, Novelist, Wiley and Zomby.
