The album was recorded in Seattle with Steve Fisk, who has also produced Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pavement, Low, and The Screaming Trees. In addition, he produced a previous Wedding Present album, Watusi, for Island Records. Fountain, incidentally, is a main East to West avenue in L.A. When an aspiring starlet asked Bette Davis for advice on "the best way to get into Hollywood", Ms Davis replied without hesitation "Take Fountain!" On one of the last Peel Programmes before his death, the late DJ commented on the new songs: "they are as good as anything The Wedding Present have done in the past".
