As previously revealed on NME.COM, the album was recorded with producer Ben Hillier (Blur, Elbow) in just five-and-a-half weeks in the Yorkshire countryside.

“It’s a progression, things are slightly different,” explained bassist Jaff of the new record. “For me it’s the singing, the accents and attitude are the same but it’s a lot less cluttered.”

The band’s speed was partly due to the lack of distractions to be found on the Yorkshire moors where they recorded the album.

“It was remote, but not far away from civilization,” said frontman Barry Hyde. “We were in this amazing farmhouse in the hills. No mobile reception or anything. It had different weather, it had its own eco-system! It was cold though, no central heating, just a coal fire.”
