The band produced the album by themselves, with Dave Odlum, of Irish rock group The Frames providing co-production on several tunes. The recording sessions saw the band working in an increasingly experimental fashion; band biographer Bran San Martin noted "the expansiveness of the band's vision" to include collaborators on the album playing unusual instruments, but said that "the band's ambitions insured that the additional instrumentation enriched and never overwhelmed the proceedings."
