Liverpool duo Hannah Merrick and Craig Whittle discuss working with producer Ali chant this time around, for their second album, "this time we made multiple demos of songs in the practice room. We’d set up microphones and did our own little versions of tracks to see what worked so that by the time we got into the studio we knew what was going to work and we’d already eliminated certain songs that weren’t quite right which we’d never done before. Then everything was recorded pretty much live. It was all done in one room and we really wanted to capture the feeling of us playing together with people on the record."

This was their first album to not feature Murph on drums, who was replaced by J. Mascis.
Arlo Parks says on songwriting: “Sometimes I feel like being able to distill a really difficult problem that feels really impossible to digest in one go is actually a lot easier to filter through a song. It's also almost putting that sense of pain, or being lost, to good use. It feels useful in a way. I think that's a big part of why I share the music that I make, why it's not just me in my bedroom doing it only for myself. It's that desire to provide relief for others.”

When recording the album, the band decided to try a new approach to recording. Alan Wilder said, "Usually we begin the making of a record by having extensive pre-production meetings where we decide what the record will actually sound like, then go into a programming studio. This time we decided to keep all pre-production work to a minimum. We were beginning to have a problem with boredom in that we felt we'd reached a certain level of achievement in doing things a certain way."
Martin Gore told NME, "Over the last five years I think we'd perfected a formula; my demos, a month in a programming studio, etc. etc. We decided that our first record of the '90s ought to be different."

Wayne Coyne spoke to The Guardian: "We’re so grateful, lucky and blown away to have one of those songs that people play at heavy, heavy times, the heaviest you can endure. But at lighter occasions too, when babies are born or at a cousin’s wedding. We always thought that ruined music but we were wrong. It doesn’t. It’s the greatest thing music can do." - tinyurl.com

Info on this track via the vault: princevault.com
Open Book is the tenth and final track on the worldwide re-issue of Jevetta Steele’s first solo album Here It Is (Jevetta Steele is also part of the group The Steeles). The song was written by Martika, Levi Seacer, Jr. and Prince, and was produced by Prince under the pseudonym Paisley Park.
Tracking took place on 11 January 1991 at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota (on the same day as Martika’s Kitchen and Spirit). It was intended for the Martika’s Kitchen album, and was written as a response to Martika’s lyrics for Safe In The Arms Of Love, which also appears on the album. Open Book quotes passages from this song - it is likely that Martika’s writing input in the song is limited to those passages. It is unclear if Martika recorded her lead vocals on the song. It is also not known when Jevetta Steele overdubbed her vocals.
The original 1991 version with Prince’s vocals was released in October 2023 as the fourth track of Vault Tracks part 2, one of the discs with previously unreleased tracks included with the Diamonds And Pearls Super Deluxe Edition.

A B-side on the "Your Ghost" CD single, and originally a country blues song written and first recorded by Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929. The lyrics reflect experiences during the upheaval caused by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927.
It was then re-worked by Led Zeppelin as the last song on their untitled fourth album. Singer Robert Plant used many of the original lyrics and the songwriting is credited to Memphis Minnie and the individual members of Led Zeppelin. bit.ly
