Produced by their friend and frequent collaborator Darren Hayman of Hefner, the album was recorded entirely live in one day at Hayman's house in Walthamstow. The songs featured here embrace Tattersall's love of E Minor - Now Your Smiles Comes Over In Your Face and title track Beer In The Breakers; Bass player Franic's favourite clothing brand - Blue Harbour - a tale of love in Coney Island; are in-spired by band favourites like Otis Rush - Blink Back A Tear; and include re-workings of songs written in Tattersall's youth - China Whale Brand and In Her Kitchen. The first single from the album will be Little Surprise, a track whose upbeat melody belies its dark, poignant lyrics. The Wave Pictures have defiantly trodden their own path, mining the lost essence of British indie across their critically lauded debut 2008's Instant Coffee Baby - short listed for the Guardian New Album Award and featured in many an end of year poll - and the follow up If You Leave It Alone.
