[citation needed] Following The Rumble Strips' reinterpretation of Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black", Mark Ronson offered his services in producing the album in New York.

On working with Ronson, the band commented: "He definitely had an idea about how he wanted it to sound.

And obviously coming in fresh, he sort of sat down and listened to the songs, and trimmed off bits.

"[14] As part of their First Listen series of features, The-Fly.co.uk put up a track-by-track synopsis of Welcome to the Walk Alone on 26 May.

Whilst stating that "Ronson's kitchen sink production is evident after little more than a minute," they said that the sound of the record is "lush", highlighting "Dem Girls", "Sweet Heart Hooligan" and "Daniel" as the album's highlights.
