Mixed by producer Dave Sardy (Johnny Cash, LCD Soundsystem), the album was produced by the duo working alone in the studio. “We wanted to have a distinct sound,” Lopez says. “Instead of jamming together, I’d write a bass line or a vocal melody. Sean would lay down a tempo and we’d write around that. For percussion, we’d use whatever was laying around – pots and pans, an old desk– anything with a nice crack and ring to it.”
