On March 6, 2009, the band announced on its website that it was working on songs for a fourth album. The album was recorded in Electric Lady Studios during spring 2009. In an interview, Fogarino referred to the album as having gone back to the original sound of Turn On the Bright Lights . It was later claimed by Banks that it would not sound anything like their debut album and that there is some very “classical stuff going on” with it. No news about the album surfaced until late April when the band sent an email directing users to a free download of “Lights”, the first officially released song. Citing management changes at the label, the band left Capitol Records prior to the album’s release, signing again with Matador Records . On June 22, 2010, a promotional video for “Lights”, directed by Charlie White and featuring Lola Blanc , was made available for free download on the band’s official website.
