The album marks the return of former lead singer Skye Edwards, who left the band in 2003.[5] The first single released was "Even Though". Paul Godfrey said, "This is the record we should have made after Big Calm [Morcheeba's second album, released in 1998] but we had to travel treacherous terrains to get back to our natural habitat."
