We're excited about that."[1] Speaking to NME, Ogden said, "In the end, we recorded it in 21 days or something like that, but over the course of maybe 4 months. We looked back at how can we improve ourselves, before we realised that we’ve gotta take our live setup up another level and have some more upbeat songs."[2]
