A new song, “City Hall”, appeared in a setlist, and the band entered the studio in January 2009. On his online diary, Woomble noted that he had: “been trying to work on lyrics for the new Idlewild record. At the moment it has the possibility of being about anything, so I’ve been trying to narrow that down a bit. I’ve been re-reading Jack Kerouac ‘s novels and following this US election , and keeping up with all the new US groups, so maybe it’ll take on a Stars and stripes theme. It’ll probably end up being about mountains and Islands though.”
