The deft mix of post-rock soundscapes, subtle electronics, clicking drum beats, swelling strings and&nbsp;Moffat\u2019s&nbsp;incomparable half-sung, half-spoken vocals are all present, but so too is a variety of new additions from blasts of woozy saxophone to disco grooves and a rich immersive production that plunges you deep into the stories. \u201c<em>We&#8217;ve had enough distance from our earlier work to reappraise and dissect the good and bad elements of what we did,\u201d<\/em> says&nbsp;Malcolm Middleton&nbsp;. \u201c<em>Not many bands get to do this, so it&#8217;s great to split up.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em><br><br>Whilst&nbsp;Moffat&nbsp;jokingly says \u201c<em>we&#8217;re still doing what we always do: Malcolm gives me some guitar parts then I\u2019ll fuck about with them and put some drum machines and words over the top\u201d.&nbsp;<\/em><br><br>The band reconnected with producer Paul Savage, with just the three of them in the studio, as it was the very first time around. <em>\u201cPaul brings comfort and trust,\u201d<\/em> says Middleton, \u201c<em>And a sense of continuity.\u201d<\/em> Savage\u2019s light touch approach, combined with the band\u2019s evolved craft, has created a potent production that brings out the best in the duo. \u201c<em>I&#8217;ve never been interested in making slick records,\u201d<\/em> says&nbsp;Moffat&nbsp;. \u201c<em>But the new stuff sounds much fuller, brighter and better because we actually know what we&#8217;re doing.
