<P> In September 2017 the band began recording material at Vox Studios in Hollywood and La Frette in Paris , with long - time collaborator James Ford co-producing the album with Turner . During these sessions `` the piano and guitar started to jell '' , with O'Malley and drummer Matt Helders joining . Helders commented that during recording he played with more restraint than on previous records , noting that `` it 's about playing for the songs '' . Further recording sessions took place with Ford in London . </P>
