The album was produced by Mike McCarthy, who in the past put the finishing touches on albums by Trail Of Dead or Spoon. "Milk Famous" is the band's third album release and the follow-up to their 2009 Mute debut "It's Frightening". It received high praise from the English press at the time, such as The Fly ("An album that deserves attention from start to finish") or Mojo magazine ("their knack for addictive melody and honed songcraft delivers a beguiling, cohesive and memorable whole") songcraft delivers a beguiling, coherent and memorable whole").
