The album behind it was a long time coming. Recording got going in early 2012, mostly at Mondo Studio in Los Angeles, with more work at Sonora Recorders across town and Firehouse Studios in Pasadena, and the sessions also drew in the seventeen-piece Angel City String Orchestra, taped at Glenwood Place Studios in Burbank, along with a four-piece choir.
