We were like "Great, we have all these songs" and he was like "Leave those there, let's go write new songs in the studio." Initially there was an affinity and a marriage to all these other songs, but the only way that we saw this working was to have trust in him and get rid of our old ideas and our old way of doing things and say "If this is going to work, we just have to throw ourselves off the cliff and see what happens". And lo and behold it was meant to be, as these things can be, and when all the dust settled Brian Burton, aka Danger Mouse, emerged and said, "Let's go make a record". So we re-thought everything and then we didn’t have a producer and we were just sort of lost in space with all these songs. We had an unusually difficult experience making this record, where we wrote 20 to 30 songs and it was all ready to go and we thought it was happening, and then Flea went snowboarding and broke his arm real bad, which was a bit of a setback. Production began in 2014, but the project was delayed for eight months due to bassist Flea suffering a broken arm sustained while snowboarding.
