According to the band this record is influenced from everything from ‘Scary Monsters’ / ‘Golden Years’ – era Bowie, his work with Eno and Visconti to Jay-Z, Hall and Oates, the chops of Hot Chocolate and even the folk licks of Richard Thompson.
References include- Glasgow and girls, girls, girls, current, future, past and fictional, Mongolian Warlords, Bears, Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, Baader-Meinhoff and Scientology.
The album was recorded at Edwyn Collins’ West Heath yard studio in London and it was produced by Bernard Butler. As with the first album it’s all in all a ridiculously catchy dancefloor filling rock ‘n’ roll album that’s a perfect accompaniment to teenage kicks.
