The album was recorded with over thirty session musicians across São Paulo and London. Greep explains, "With recording 'The New Sound', it was the first time I have had no one to answer to. And with every impulse I had, I was able to completely follow it through to its conclusion. Being in a band (black midi), we often have this 'we can do everything' feeling, but you are also kind of limited in that approach, and sometimes it's good to do something else, to let go of things."
He adds, "The main theme of the record is desperation; you don't hear an unreliable narrator but someone who is kidding themselves that they have everything under control, but they don't."
