These answers help explain the narrative accompanying the Quazarz press releases and promotional material. The story of Quazarz is the story of Butler himself—or some cosmic/astral form of himself. Stars and Light have been recurring themes in Shabazz Palaces' music since their debut EPs "Shabazz Palaces" and "Of Light", and just as actual quasars in outer space are the brightest objects in the universe, Butler has long been one of Seattle's brightest—or "a bright light / on the dark side (of town)," as he said on the S/T EP track "Capital 5…".

"I mean that's our most familiar link to a reference for it, and I personally spent a good portion of my life immersed in that music and was enamored and fascinated by all the approach that they had to it… like, 'yo we comin at this from a full angle: our stories, fantasy and the music,'" Butler says. "But I also believe that they are ancestors, we are ancestors, of beings that aren't necessarily confined to this terra, and these extravagant sci-fi ideas that we have to express come from a cellular memory of wherever it is that we came from," he muses. "Yeah, they are the arbiters of it and the originators of it in my mind, but I bet you that we all come from a pool of minds and blood and cells that make that possible in our imagination. I think it comes from another reality that most people think is fantasy but I don't."
