Recording began with Pharrell Williams at Miami’s South Beach Studios in December 2010 (when I met with them for lunch) and continued over several return sessions, culminating in Williams’ production of album closer “Summer Jam (featuring Maxine Ashley)”. Additional recording in New York and Chicago, with The Cool Kids’ self-production on the rest of the album, helped When Fish Ride Bicycles become their most diverse work to date.
