We worked on this album in between live performances and gradually realised how much more difficult it was to find the time to devote to recording, mixing, editing and mastering that we always like to put in. It was a bittersweet feeling to be at once thankful for the ability to pay our own way once again, and yet frustrated that we now had a totally different balance to consider. At times, all we wanted to do was escape...
