Plans to record a follow-up to Era Vulgaris had been mentioned since 2008, but recording would not begin until August 2012. In March 2011, Homme stated, “Doing the rehearsals for the first record is really defining the new one. It’s been turning the new record into something else. What we were doing was bluesy, and now it’s turned into this trancey, broken thing. The robots are coming home!” According to Homme, the album would be finished by the end of 2012. He explained to BBC Radio 1, “We’re going to take our one last break that we would get for a month, come back and do Glastonbury, then immediately jump in the studio. Our record will be done by the end of the year. We have enough songs.”
