So half of our set was new songs that we ended up recording for this album. And that made such a huge difference – going into the studio after playing a song for two years, knowing it inside-out and having sung it millions of times, and then recording it is a totally satisfying experience. You’re suddenly in this controlled environment and you can make it sound exactly as you’ve been imagining it.” ~ Eleanor Friedberger

I just don’t like the dragging women around on dog leads and all that stuff” ~ Noel Gallagher
-

So that was naturally a big subject matter for the album.” ~ Brendan Bayliss
