Yorkston and Sweden’s The Second Hand Orchestra had no real plans to do a follow up after 2021’s ‘The Wide, Wide River’, but as James visited his studio in Cellardyke, Fife every day in
early 2021, he began to start writing songs on the piano, as opposed to his usual guitar, as he gazed upon the sea outside his window.
After sending the first five or six songs to Karl-Jonas Winqvist (the leader / conductor of The Second Hand Orchestra), they began to discuss working on the music together. With Yorkston’s
shift from guitar to piano, they thought about what other changes they could make to their process which led to the involvement of a guest singer and the legendary Nina Persson (The Cardigans) was brought into the fold.
