Music edit

Opening track "Follow Me" was the final song recorded for the album. When the band needed a piece of music to act as an introduction, Stuart Staples and musical arranger Julian Siegel used the melody from Bronisław Kaper's soundtrack to the 1962 film Mutiny on the Bounty, which Staples had found himself humming as he walked down the street.[2] "We Are Dreamers!" features vocals by Jehnny Beth of Savages, who recorded her part in ten minutes.[2]
