In 2010, the band signed to Canvasback Records, a subsidiary of Atlantic , and began work on their debut album, The Big Roar , which was recorded in London . Dafydd said that “(it) covers a lot of emotional range. It’s captured the battle between the eternal optimist and the manic depressive”. The album was produced by the Joy Formidable with help from engineer Neak Menter. The band traveled to Los Angeles to mix it with producer Rich Costey , who had worked with bands such as Mew , Muse , Foo Fighters and Glasvegas .
