It is the first record of Devine's made that is fully backed by a band^[5] – Kevin Devine & the Goddamn Band, consisting of keyboardist Brian Bonz, bassist/keyboardist Chris Bracco, drummer/percussionist Mike Fadem, guitarist Russell Smith, and guitarist/mandolinist Mike Strandberg^[1] – and his fourth produced by Bracco, who previously co-produced Devine's Make the Clocks Move and Split the Country, Split the Street with Mike Skinner and produced 2009's Brother's Blood.^[5] The album was mixed by Rob Schnapf, who produced Devine's 2006 album Put Your Ghost to Rest and the 2008 single "Another Bag of Bones".^[5] Per Devine, "the combination of Chris and Rob on this record kind of marries the best aspects of everything I've tried to do over the past ten years."^[5]

The UK CD of the album, released via Big Scary Monsters, features 2 bonus tracks, "Part of the Whole" and "Luxembourg", Devine's previous two singles (produced by Schnapf) released prior to Between the Concrete & Clouds.
