[edit] History

The album was recorded throughout 2008 and 2009, in the band's studio in East London by James Ford and Damon Albarn, the Blur frontman. Taking time during their world tour of DJing and performing live, they recorded with guests such as Beth Ditto (from Gossip) and Alexis Taylor (from Hot Chip). This was preceded by the release of a new single Audacity of Huge (featuring Chris Keating from Yeasayer) on August 3, 2009. Prior to its release, the band streamed a low quality version of the single on their official website from May 22, 2009.
