Album is produced by David Field, Prāta Vētra, Ingars Viļums and Ian Davenport. Additional production by Steve Durand. Album artwork designed by Līga Kitchen.

Band sees the new single “Lantern” as kaleidoscopic view of themselves through producer's David Field binoculars: “During songwriting session in Hudson David had an idea each of us should take blank piece of paper and write down how we see ourselves as a band taking into account our past and visions about the future. Other day we spent reading them to David and he picked the ones he felt are special and interesting. Through this process the lyrics for “Lantern” was created”.

Musical material for the song came from Māris Mihelsons' demo tapes. Video is directed by the drummer Kaspars Roga who did visualised the idea of the song putting together scenes from band's and their friends' life: “Good song can not be damaged by the video – my main task was to make more vivid summer feeling the song carries. I also used video material we shot at the studios where album was recorded. This way the viewers can have a  sneak peak of the creative  and fun process we had recording new songs”.

The Story of Prāta Vētra is that of best friends who grow up together, went to the same school, shared the same dreams and together fulfilled them. They come from a unique generation. Born in Latvia which was then part of the giant Soviet Union, they experienced a Soviet upbringing, the battle for a freedom and were part of the first generation to embrace new possibilities the freedom brought. Experiencing these two radical systems has shaped their musical style.

After Prāta Vētra conquered the hearts of music lovers in native Latvia and became a household name, the band took a chance on reaching the audiences beyond the borders of their motherland. PRĀTA VĒTRA during their career have released albums in Europe and Russia, supported bands like “R.E.M.”, “The Rolling Stones”, “Depeche Mode”, e.t.c.. World-known photographer Anton Corbijn has made photos for three albums and designed the logo of the band. As  A.Corbijn has described: “There is this beautiful thing that great bands have something… Identity and I think PRĀTA VĒTRA has that,”
