The album's title was revealed on 13 October 2010.[11] The band's official website displayed a release date of 10 January.[12] The Canadian website of their record label listed a release date of 18 January.[13]

The first single from the album, "Living Is So Easy", was released digitally on 29 November 2010.[14]

The album was recorded in South East England and on the Isle of Skye, and produced by British Sea Power and Graham Sutton.[15]

The song "Georgie Ray" was inspired by George Orwell and Ray Bradbury, according to Yan and Wood in an interview with musicOMH.[16]

The song "Cleaning Out The Rooms" first appeared on the Zeus EP, as did a different version of "Mongk II" entitled "Mongk".

Regarding the album's title, the band have merely stated that "Valhalla Dancehall" is possibly "just a glorified farmhouse that sometimes runs out of oil."[17]

gollark: I have! I just didn't know `pcall` did this. It's so weird.

gollark: The hard part is making it *mostly* like an actual environment but denying access to some stuff.

gollark: There are still all kinds of side channel attacks, but eh.

gollark: Oh, if I just wanted to deny access to basically everything it would be *fairly* easy.

gollark: This is even crazier. If I return the whole environment table from `pcall` it's out-of-sandbox, but if I check the return value *in* the function it somehow breaks?
