Recording of the third Darkness album began at Dan's own Leeder's Farm studio, continued at the legendary Rockfield in Wales ('I had bad memories of Rockfield,' says Ed, 'so I deliberately chose the same bedroom to exorcise them'), with some mopping-up in Hoxton. Produced by the band with Nick Brine (Stone Roses/Oasis/will.i.am), it was mixed by Bob Ezrin, who had previously produced the Darkness' festive hit 'Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End)'. 'Every mix he sent back,' says Justin, 'was WOW.'
