The recording
Recorded in early 2012 in Sheffield, England, and later re-recorded/remixed during the AM sessions at Sage & Sound Recording (Los Angeles) and Rancho De La Luna (Joshua Tree). The track was produced by James Ford and co-produced by Ross Orton. It served as the creative compass for the band's shift toward a groove-heavy, more polished rock sound.
