The album was recorded in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York, with the songs in 'Love at the Bottom of the Sea' not exceeding three minutes while the sound by Magnetic Fields goes back to the sound that characterized them in the 90's, a combination of acoustic and electronic instruments, with Merritt approaching with new interest synthesizers as "...most synthesizers the drive did not exist when we used synthesizers."
