Speaking to NME in a recent interview, frontman Justin Young recalled the band’s experience of recording ‘Back In Love City’ in a Texas studio that was near Donald Trump‘s border wall between the US and Mexico.

“Trump’s wall ran through the property [of the studio] so it was really quite an extreme place to go, having started making the album in west London,” the frontman said. “The nearest town to the studio is where all of the internment camps are, where the kids are separated from their parents and stuff. You were very aware of that when you were there.”

The album was recently awarded four stars by NME and was described as an “open-hearted paean to the States”.

It added: “After 11 years, the band continue to find new ways to mix up their formula, this time with a concept record inspired by movie dystopias.”
