Speaking earlier this year, guitarist Mike McCready said the content of the album, which will again be produced by Brendan O’Brien, was inspired by Pink Floyd and punk rock, adding that the record is “experimental”.

He said: “I would say as a cliché answer it’s kind of a logical extension of what Backspacer was. But I think there’s a little bit more experimental stuff going on. There’s a Pink Floyd vibe to some of it, there’s a punk rock edge to other stuff.”

Speaking at the time, McCready said that seven songs are “relatively completed” and there are an additional 15 “ready to go”. “We’re excited to get it done, because we’ve kind of been waiting for about two years to do it,” he explained.
