In March 2013 BlackboxRed travelled to France for the recording of their debut album. This was done in a studio in a 17th century mansion in France. The acoustics of the old house played a big part in the overall sound of the album. At a certain point the weather conditions were so extreme that the band was snowbound, completely shut off from the outside world, which resulted in a loud, grandiose, sometimes spooky atmosphere in the songs. The album is produced and recorded by Chris Hamilton, a good friend and hero of the band, with his travelling studio called EEK! Recordings.
