Penny Sparkle, the band's third for 4AD, marks another sonic twist in their already adventurous canon. The album was made over the last year with the band journeying between New York and Stockholm to work with production duo Van Rivers and the Subliminal Kid (FEVER RAY, GLASSER). Additional production work was undertaken with Drew Brown (BECK, RADIOHEAD), and as with their previous album 23, Alan Moulder (DEPECHE MODE, MY BLOODY VALENTINE, YEAH YEAH YEAHS) was enlisted to mix it.
