Costello recorded the new album in Helsinki, Paris, and New York. The record features Elvis Costello’s longtime bandmate Steve Nieve, as well as Bill Frisell, Nels Cline, Mickaél Gasche, Pierre-François “Titi” Dufour, and more.
“I sang live on the studio floor, directing from the vocal booth,” Costello said of the new album in a press release. “We cut nine songs in two days. We spoke very little. Almost everything the musicians played was a spontaneous response to the song I was singing. I’d had a dream of recording in Paris like this, one day.”
