Limiting himself to a much pared-down instrumentation in contrast to 2015's Rosy Maze, Cummings recorded the album in a very short time in Paris, which he feels helped the creative process retain a vibrancy necessary to the project. Having Lætitia Sadier of Stereolab contributing vocals also helped him achieve the ambiance he strove to create as the album has a recurring theme of love and affection. The cross-section of songs covered ranges from highly regarded classics to little known gems that Cummings discovered over the years as an ardent vinyl collector.[2]
