The album was recorded by a mobile studio in late 2018 at a camp in the desert around Nouakchott, Mauritania, where the band were joined by griotte Noura Mint Seymali and her guitarist husband, Jeiche Ould Chigaly.

Once recorded, a host of Western musicians added instrumentation, including violin from Warren Ellis, mandolin and charango courtesy of Micah Nelson, and guitars from Stephen O’Malley, Cass McCombs and Rodolphe Burger.
