Work on the album began last year, when Howard began sketching in Los Angeles with friends and collaborators Max Margolis and Donnie Bravo, before sending demos to Guy, who was still in London. They met in London after Guy tried to write a sketch, and they finished the album.

The whole idea is to turn pain into beauty—which, in hindsight, was always our goal.”
Guy added: “This record is a celebration of how liberated we feel now. We’re no longer signed to a major label. We’re not going to tour this record. We can do whatever we like and be super creative .”
It’s worth noting that Howard pulled out of his Australian tour last year to “take some time to take care of himself”. Thankfully, he seems to be in a better place.
