The recording utilized eight engineers, including tom schick (rufus wainwright) and john parish (pj harvey). inspired by his increasingly itinerant lifestyle ward set forth to create something of a musical travelogue. he explains, "between now and when i made hold time there has been a lot of traveling which requires a lot of reckoning with what to leave behind and what to carry - material and otherwise - and thinking about what i want versus what i need, creatively and otherwise. i wanted to get a reflection of that on the album. it was a process of stripping away my security blanket, which is the same four walls i always record in."
