Background and recording
[edit]Three months after releasing their fourth studio album, Best Night of My Life, American Authors announced that they were working on their next album in June 2023.[1] On July 17, 2023, the band posted a short video on several platforms explaining some of the thought process behind the new album.[2] Drum player Matt Sanchez explained some of the inspiration behind the new album: "We're channeling Crosby, Stills & Nash…we're channeling that era of music. When you listen back to that stuff it almost feels brand new and it's so inspiring." In that same video, Dave Rublin, bass player, shared "What we're gonna do in this new album is play homage to the sounds and the songs of the past and reinvent it in a sweet way so everyone can feel that good vibe that we grew up having." The album was recorded throughout 2023 in multiple recording sessions. The banded ended with recording over 40 songs for the record.[3] By January 2024, the band was putting the finishing touches on the album.[4]
