Well: When we resume the tour in 2023, we rehearse a new song called “Hymn of the North” during the sound tests and finally we played at the end of our second night at the Sheffield Arena. This seemed to open the doors: we created the rest of the songs on this album during the first half of 2024. A couple are repositions of ideas of the last century. The music of a song was composed by Richard Hawley. The music of another was composed of Jason Buckle. The angry family chooses in a song. There are rope arrangements composed of Richard Jones and played by the Elysian Collective.
The album was recorded for three weeks by James Ford in Walthamstow, London, as of November 18, 2024. This is the shortest time that has taken a pulp album to be recorded. I was ready to start.
