In 2010, while on an eye-opening American tour, the band decided to relocate to Phoenix, Arizona. “We felt like we always had a kinship with America,” vocalist/pianist Robert Stevenson says of the creative benefit of the move. “Previously, I had been inspired by American writers, musicians, and filmmakers, but written everything in Oxford. Suddenly, we were flung into the eye of a cultural hurricane, travelling from state to state day after day – you couldn't help but be inspired by this wealth of new experiences. We decided we had to stay here to capture this album.”
Mixing duties fell to Alan Moulder – best known for his work with The Killers, Death Cab For Cutie, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Foo Fighters – who finished the self produced sessions in London along with Catherine Marks (PJ Harvey, The Pains of Being Pure of Heart & Foals).
A Silent Film play London’s Barfly on Thursday 28th June.
