In January 2010, Glasvegas moved to California and set up a studio in a beach house in Santa Monica where for over five months they demoed, tracked and recorded most of their second album, Euphoric Heartbreak . Santa Monica and its location on Southern California’s West Coast had a massive influence on the sound and feel of the new songs. During this period in Santa Monica, Caroline McKay chose to leave the band before demoing and any recording began, officially leaving on 25 March 2010 citing personal reasons. The remaining band members stayed in Santa Monica until early May 2010 before returning to Scotland with an album’s worth of new material. After a break over the summer, the band headed south to the Assault & Battery 2, a tracking and mix studio in London, with producer Flood through September, October and November 2010. Further post-production took place at the Castle of Doom studios in Glasgow through December 2010 and January 2011. On 14 December 2010, the band announced the appointment of a new drummer, Jonna Löfgren from Boden in Sweden .
