Koenig, Baio, and Tomson recorded the follow-up to 2019’s ‘Father of the Bride’ in New York, Los Angeles, London, and Tokyo.
Koenig produced the album with Ariel Rechtshaid, and it was mixed by Dave Fridmann and mastered by Emily Lazar.
Koenig wrote most of the lyrics for ‘Only God Was Above Us’ in 2019 and 2020 and the band took the title from a newspaper headline featured in the 1988 photograph ‘Subway Dream 11’ by Steven Siegel.
The photograph is also being used as the album cover.
