Buccellati covers guitar, keyboards and drums, May plays bass and drums, and Allen sings lead with Penner behind her, all of it wrapped in a full section of violins, violas and cellos. The album was mostly cut in Los Angeles over ten days in December 2024, and it picks through the end of her marriage to actor David Harbour; critics praised its candour, it went to number two in the UK, and it earned a Brit nomination for British Album of the Year.
