Deep dives

The Making of Big Bad World

The album Big Bad World was recorded in Malibu, California, and the band took a more relaxed and party-like approach during the recording process. They wanted to capture a live sound and create a slightly unpolished record. The album featured the hit single '1, 2, 3, 4', which initially had a low-key release, but the band took matters into their own hands and created a zero-budget video that went viral and helped propel the song to great success.
