After Party, Harding came off a 100-date tour and went straight into the studio with a collection of songs written on the road. Reuniting with John Parish, producer of Party, Harding spent 15 days recording and 10 days mixing at Rockfield Studios, Monmouth and Bristol's J&J Studio and Playpen. From the bold strokes of opening track InchFixture Picture,Inch there is an overriding sense of an enigmatic artist confident in their work, with contributions from Huw Evans (H.
