The band began work on the album with Grammy-winning producer Joe Chiccarelli, engineers Lars Fox and Ian Kirkpatrick, and mixer Michael H. Brauer in early 2010. Young the Giant lead singer Sameer Gadhia described the album as having a Inchsummery, kind of an Orange County sound.Inch Songs on the album include the U.S. single InchMy BodyInch, which reached the top five of Billboard's Alternative Songs chart; InchApartmentInch, the first international single; and InchCough SyrupInch, which was originally recorded for the 2008 EP Shake My Hand when the band was known as The Jakes. The album features live track recording, which the band had never previously attempted. Drummer Francois Comtois noted that working with Chiccarelli for the sessions Inchwas incredibly intimidating, but he kicked our asses into shape.Inch Gadhia also recalled the experience InchWe were criticized in ways we had never even thought of, and were constantly pushed to reach the next level. Looking back on it, [...] he shaped us into better musicians, performers, and songwriters. Album Tracks 1. Apartment 2. My Body 3. I Got 4. Cough Syrup 5. God Made Man 6. 12 Fingers 7. Strings 8.
