We recorded this song with our good friend Pat Collier at his Perry Vale Studios in London on the 8th and 9th of May '08. The artwork was conceived by us, Tellison, while we were walking to the cinema in Shepherd's Bush, the models were made by the wonderful Faridah at Raging Cupcake and our friend Photowen took the photo and helped us to build the scene in Hammersmith in our practice room on top of some amplifiers.

'Contact! Contact!' was recorded in characteristically fractured fashion - in locations 400 miles apart, with two different producers, over a period of six months. We began this record on Bankhead Farm in Fife in August '06 with Robin Sutherland and finished it in Perry Vale Studios in London in January '07 with Pat Collier. Inbetween we went to Dundee for many days and ate a lot Chinese food and suffered crippling crises of confidence and powercuts in Robin's parent's house. We used a lot of equipment which belonged and continues to belong to a lovely lovely Scottish band called Stapleton and we slept on many floors so that we could finish it. During recording Peter ate several macaroni and cheese pies from a Scottish bakery, Andrew became badly ill and had to stay at home, Henry made a percussion castle and during the release show Stephen passed out over his amplifier and nobody noticed. It was all very emotional.
