Mogwai recorded the new album in Lanarkshire with producer John Congleton. “After the high of putting out As The Love Continues, the following years were personally hard for us,” the band shared in a press release. “We’ve dealt with a lot of loss and in Barry’s case a serious family illness with one his daughters. Getting back together to write and record this record felt like a refuge and with John Congleton we feel that we’ve made something special. We often hear from people that our music has helped them get through hard times in their lives and for once I think it applies to us as well.”
