Production
Johnson worked on this album with producer Blake Mills who had previously worked with Alabama Shakes, The Black Keys and Fiona Apple. In an article with Rolling Stone, Johnson was asked how he connected with Mills, he stated, "When Blake and I first got in touch we'd send each other playlists, and over time we realized we were drawn to music that sounds effortless despite all the effort put into making it. After a while we got a language together and I gained a trust in him that allowed me to let go, push outside my comfort zone, and get to a sound I really loved."
Recording
The album was recorded at The Mango Tree, Jack's home studio, and at EastWest Studios and Sound City Studios in Los Angeles. In an interview with Kyle Meredith from Consequence of Sound, Johnson stated that most of the album was recorded by Johnson and Mills themselves, and his band of Zach Gill, Merlo Podleweski and Adam Topol added finishing touches. Johnson praised Mills for his guitar playing, and stated that he is one of the greatest guitar players of all time in an interview with Zane Lowe.
