Background
Going, Going... came four years after the band's previous album, Valentina. David Gedge had decided that he didn't want the next album to be "just another album" and decided on a format of a number of interconnected pieces.[8] In 2014 he travelled across America with photographer Jessica McMillan and made a number of films. After that, says Gedge, it was a case of "progressing through the music, trying all sorts of ideas, seeing how they work set against the visuals."[8]
