The album was produced by Jon Lawler and Stuart McCredie and mixed by Tony Hoffer (who produced The Fratellis' debut album Costello Music) and was recorded at Terminal Music in Glasgow, Playground Studios in Glasgow and Angel Recording Studios in London.

The album was accidentally released for Digital Download on 16 November from Amazon, HMV and Play.com, but was later removed.

"Begging Bowl Blues" features no vocals from Lou Hickey as the song didn't suit her voice.

Lawler was also keen to point out the variety of instruments used and how each song has a unique sound.
