The album was initially recorded in a small studio in Hong Kong that the band used whilst on tour in 2013. Blur had a show date cancelled and five spare days in Hong Kong, so they decided to go into the studio and jam on some ideas.
Stephen (who is managed by Gotham Producers) worked on the material in his Miloco-managed studio The Bunker.

The first single, ‘Go Out’, was initially recorded in a small studio in Hong Kong that the band used whilst on tour in 2013. Blur had a show date cancelled and five spare days in Hong Kong, so they decided to go into the studio and jam on some ideas. The original multitrack contained drums recorded on two tracks, bass, one guitar overdub, some keys and a guide vocal, all recorded live.
Late last year, Stephen (who is managed by Gotham Producers) worked on the material in his Miloco-managed studio The Bunker.
Graham used Stephen’s Fender guitars and a Vox AC15 amp that is in The Bunker. Stephen recorded the guitar using two microphones: a Sontronics Delta ribbon mic and a Shure SM57. Finally, vocals were recorded at Blur founder Damon Albarn’s Studio 13 in west London in January of this year.

Used by the Turkish music industry for nearly 40 years, Marsandiz Studios is now the second Miloco partner in Istanbul. The studio, situated on the European side of the city, remains one of the most technically advanced recording and mixing facilities in Turkey.

Studio C includes a Digidesign ICON D–Command console and is designed for dubbing and 5.1 surround mixing.
Marsandiz chose to work with the world-famous RPG to provide excellent acoustic insulation, and for huge recording sessions Studio A and Studio B can be used at the same time. The facility features a great mic selection from manufacturers such as AKG, Neumann, Shure, Sennheiser and Sony.
