In this Billboard feature, dated Oct 7, 2021, the Moog DFAM is cited as a key ingredient of James' new album:

“I used this one to create the kick drums on ‘Show Me,’" says Blake. "I also used it on a couple other songs on the record for percussion. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a synth drum sound like the DFAM. It’s really weird. Once I got my hands on this, I knew there was nothing else like it. The only way I could get this sound is by buying this. You could really knock out any kick drum you’ll ever use on this thing. You can make anything on it. This is my first record using it. I actually bought two of them while I was in New York. I thought it was great to experiment with, so we just jammed for hours, many days in a row on this thing.”
