Produced by Lennon, the Friendly Fire sessions really got underway when he asked producer/engineer Tom Biller (among other things Jon Brion's trusted mixer for his recordings with Fiona Apple and Kanye West, as well as for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) and drummer Matt Chamberlain (Pearl Jam, Tori Amos) into the studio for two weeks of collaboration.
Where Lennon played most all instruments on his debut, the Friendly Fire sessions found him still writing most of the parts, but conjuring a shape-shifting "band" to record live to tape, mostly in single takes. Other participants included Jon Brion (organ, guitar, additional drums), Cibo Matto's Yuka Honda (piano, keyboards, bass), Harper Simon (guitar) and Bijou Phillips (background vocals), among others.
A childlike piano prelude introduces sweeping album opener "Dead Meat," the sweetest, most lush-sounding song to ever warn "In the end you're gonna learn/All you get is what you deserve." Similarly, the dark romanticism of the gentle, melodic "Parachute" intones "If I have to die tonight/I'd rather be with you."
