The band stated that coronavirus restrictions in 2020 and 2021 posed a major barrier to the duo's songwriting as the two were unable to get together, and that several songs reflect the melancholy of that period.[1]
Dentures Out was recorded in Wales at Rockfield Studios over a period of three weeks.[2]
The Irish Times described the record as a "quasi-political manifesto".[3] Dentures Out has been remarked upon for its anti-nostalgia stance. Timothy Monger of AllMusic stated that the record "took aim" at the press for "weaponizing" nostalgia during the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] The duo have stated that the title track, "Dentures Out", is a reflection on the "terminal decline" of Britain.[1]
Dentures Out has been described by Louder Than War as showing the band as being "at their sharpest, wittiest, loudest and rocking best" and as a "must-listen".[5]
All tracks are written by Craig and Charlie Reid.
