Like all of Dunlop's work, the album started to take shape at home using GarageBand.

They're whoever you want and need them to be.

There are songs on the album that I wrote as a teenager which meant revisiting them through the lens of someone older, and with more empathy for the girl who wrote them than I was able to show at the time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur experiences, much like music, are a blend of the organic and the engineered. I wanted to evoke that with the album artwork, shot by my incredibly talented girlfriend, esteemed photographer YesZebra. At Beetroot, the album was mixed by Stuart MacLeod and produced by myself with Stuart over the course of 2025-2026.
