The 11-track album was produced by Joe Cross, penned in Paris and recorded in Bath, Loch Ness and Manchester.

Speaking ahead of the album’s release, singer Liam Fray said: “[The period] after the second and third record can be really difficult because you’ve got to prove you can sit at the top table. I feel like we’ve weathered that storm and we might be getting a second opportunity. We feel really lucky to be on our fifth album.”

On responses to new song ‘The 17th’, Fray added: “It’s probably the best reaction we’ve ever had. It’s taken us a bit by surprise; when you’re in the middle of [recording], you’ve got no idea what everyone’s going to think.”
