The band took another break to record their third album, but this time left to work with John Leckie Paul Reeve, John Corfield and Rich Costey. Matthew said about Rich: “At first we thought it was the right man to work with rock songs. Previously I had mixed some great rock songs, but in the meantime we had been sending discs of other artists he had worked, and was trying to convince us to do the whole album. Eventually beautify the entire album, understanding perfectly what we were trying to achieve. ”
