Early demos for the album were influenced by David Bowie’s "Low", among other albums. "Low" was heavily influenced by Brian Eno, who Slowdive asked to produce their album. He declined, however, he agreed to do a couple of days of recording with Halstead, and out of these sessions came the tracks “Sing” and “Here She Comes”. Eno provides keyboards and treatments on both tracks. Following these sessions Halstead began to take greater influence from ambient music and has cited Aphex Twin, dub music, and early drum and bass as influences for the track “Souvlaki Space Station”.
