Speaking to Uncut for our 2015 Album Preview, Jim James said, “It’s the longest it’s ever taken us to make a record. We were out in Stinson Beach [California] for about a month recording and then in Louisville and then in Portland. We’ve been mixing in Portland for about a month. We recorded 24 songs, ten are going to be on this record. We divided them up into what we feel are two really cool records.

“Because this album took a year to make, I see a lot of the seasons in this record. There is a song called ‘Spring’, which doesn’t take a lot to work out. I see waterfalls and I see leaves blowing and I see plants dying. I see those kinds of images throughout this record.”

The band are scheduled to play at the End Of The Road festival on September 5 and London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire on September 7.

1. ‘Believe (Nobody Knows)’
