The album was produced by Ben Edwards and Dave Khan, both renowned for their work with the likes of Marlon Williams and Tami Neilson. It was recorded in Edwards’ studio in Lyttelton.

“It almost didn’t happen – Dave, Ben (Woolley) and Gus (Agars) were supposed to be playing a bunch of festivals with Marlon (Williams) in Russia, but they couldn’t get the visas. So suddenly they had a couple of weeks free to make a record,” says Cunliffe.

“We were joined by Dan Luscombe over from Melbourne and we piled into Ben’s studio to make some music!"

The record stays true to the qualities of Cunliffe’s 2016 debut HOWL AND WHISPER, but it does come with a more varied and bigger sound, which audiences at his six-dateTEMPLATE FOR LOVE tour can witness firsthand throughout April.
