‘We went into the studio in October 2010 to begin the process of recording. Houses were converted into recording studios and peoples lives were turned upside down in a mass of cables, microphones, wall hangings, baffles. The snow fell and the country came to a collapse in a state of political mayhem and lack of leadership but inside a house in the wild north of Ireland we closed our doors to the outside world for 4 months. After the first 4 tracks had been recorded it was obvious that this was not going to be another laid back acoustic affair.’
