The album took its time arriving. The band were already telling the BBC's Newsbeat about it in April 2009, with Pritchard describing a few weeks spent holed up at a friends' cottage in the Norfolk countryside, and the early sessions were produced by Jim Abbiss, though this track carries Hoffer's name. "Is It Me" and "Junk of the Heart (Happy)" went out as the album's singles.
