The band have described the record as having a "mature" sound, with "proper songs that are more about real life". They also claimed that the time frontman Paul Butler spent in Los Angeles recording Devendra Banhart's album What Will We Be and in the Amazon Rainforest helped influence the sound of the album, giving a sense of rhythm and groove seldom heard on previous efforts and gaining "a different approach to recording".
