Speaking on their official website, frontman Aled Phillips said, "The album doesn't pander to any fleeting trends. It's the most honest record we could have made. There are a few curveballs. It's a bit rawer than our first.

"It's quite a bit more expansive and the arrangements are more interesting. The most noticeable thing will be the inclusion and experimentation with electro elements, brass and strings. We've never wanted to cut ourselves off from playing with these things and making them part of our music.

"There's some grandiose bits, some fun bits and some textured pretty bits that step away from the two guitars, bass, drums and vocals approach. It was a lot of fun. We all just wanna be Prince, really."

Guitarist Iain Mahanty said, "The vibe this time is a lot less processed. A lot of music around now sounds like it's coming off a conveyor belt. We wanted to step away from that, stick our necks out and go 'Hang on, we're a rock band. Let's have it!"
