Background and recording
Rushmere sees the band performing as a trio, following the departure of Winston Marshall in 2021. The following three years included the release of a solo self-titled album by member Marcus Mumford (2022) and a collaboration with Pharrell Williams titled "Good People" (2024).[2]
The album is named after the pond located on Wimbledon Common in London where Marcus Mumford, Ted Dwane, and Ben Lovett first got to know each other as friends and eventual creative collaborators. According to a press release, the intent was to take listeners back to where "it all" began while the trio itself felt "restless to get going, relieved and excited" to share new music. Recorded between 2022 and 2024 at RCA Studio A in Nashville, Savannah (Georgia) and at their own studio in Devon with producer Dave Cobb, the trio described working on new music as "the most prolific two years" they had ever experienced.[3]
