In June 2011, Garvey confirmed to the Daily Mirror that the band had started working on new material for the follow-up to Build a Rocket Boys! , saying, “Rich [drummer Richard Jupp] went into the studio and recorded several different drum patterns for me. I’ll go away next week and try and write lyrics for them. We’ve never worked this way before, but we’ll see what happens.” The band started recording the album in November 2012, with Turner telling Q magazine that the new album would be “experimental”: “We’ve been going very left-field with things. We are trying out new things”. On 30 September 2013, the band simultaneously announced a live album, Live at Jodrell Bank , and the release date of their next studio album as 10 March 2014. Garvey said in an interview with Q that the Manchester band’s sixth LP would be called Carry Her Carry Me , after previously having the working title of All at Once .
