This seemed to open the floodgates: we came up with the rest of the songs on this album during the first half of 2024. A couple are revivals of ideas from last century. The music for one song was written by Richard Hawley. The music for another was written by Jason Buckle. The Eno family sing backing vocals on a song. There are string arrangements written by Richard Jones \u0026amp; played by the Elysian Collective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album was recorded over 3 weeks by James Ford in Walthamstow, London, starting on November 18th, 2024.
