Recorded in various locations around the world,Supermodelbegan as frontman Mark Foster and producer Paul Epworth set up a writing studio in a riad in Essaouira, Morocco at the
end of 2012. “We didn't have any rules. We just created as much as we could in seven days,” Foster recalls, “And in the
spirit of wanderlust and discovery we ended up stumbling on the musical identity of what this record was going to feel
like.”
From Morocco the album continued to migrate with Foster and the band. Work continued at Woodshed Studios in Malibu,
Henson Studios and Bronson Island in Los Angeles and was finished at Epworth’s Wolf Tone Studios in London.
