In a statement, guitarist and singer Stevie Jackson said the album was “something to focus on” during the COVID-19 pandemic. “That was very, very nice.”
Singer and violinist Sarah Martin added, “It was quite nice to be doing that when we couldn’t even see each other.”
Murdoch also commented on the album’s title. “For a while, the working title of the record was Live and Meticulous,” he said. “The record company really wanted it to be called Live and Meticulous. But I don’t like derivative things really.”
