What dynamic did producer Mike Crossey (Arctic Monkeys) bring to the party?
It’s the first time we’d been in with somebody who was our age instead of being a sort of legendary father figure. He had this energy and hunger and above all he just had talent. For me, a lot of music today is like listening to a computer. That’s not how The Beatles made great records Our record breathes because it’s four real musicians playing music in a room. Once we trusted Mike, we’d walk through broken glass for him. The album has got quite a timeless quality.
