[quote=Wikipedia]After extensive touring behind the release of Love, Ire & Song in 2008, Turner began writing new material, with a few songs (Live Fast, Die Old & Dan's Song) appearing at gigs in late 2008.
Unlike his first two studio records, the album was rehearsed, arranged and recorded with his full band as opposed to the previous method of Turner recording the bulk of the music himself with Nigel Powell providing drums and piano. Before the start of recording, Turner and his band played four gigs in Oxford in order to road-test 14 new songs. Turner kept fans up to date during the writing and recording of the album via his blog [1].
The album was produced by Alex Newport. Recording took place at Leeders Farm [2] in Norwich and the producer's own Future Shock Studio [3] in Brooklyn, NYC.
The album's first single is to be "The Road" which received the status as 'Hottest Record in the World Today' by BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe on Tuesday 14th July.
The iTunes deluxe version of the album includes five bonus acoustic tracks along with the music video for "The Road."
