During this session, the tracks were all improvised and recorded live to a Tascam 388 during several late nights at the Colemine HQ.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe album opens with Runner Up, where a triumphant yet melancholic melody in the piano leads to a more reserved B-section driven by the drums and bass of Frazer and Montgomery.
