Working in the Backroom is the sixth album by the British pop musician Howard Jones.

Jones's parents often helped him sell the copies.

[3] He supported the album with a North American solo tour designated "The Synthesizer Tour"; The Fat Lady Sings opened some of the shows.

[4][5][6] Jones recorded and produced the album at his home studio.

[9] The Washington Post wrote: "A collection of not-very-experimental experiments, the album sounds like mainstream Jones on such songs as 'Over & Above' and 'Left No Evidence'.
