Celebration was recorded at Headgear Studios in Brooklyn and produced by David Sitek from TV On The Radio. Sitek is a long-time Celebration cheerleader - he introduced the band to 4AD - and being able to make this record was the fulfillment for him of months of dreaming and scheming. As well as producing the album, he contributed treated guitar parts and synth noises which - along with Martin Perna and Stewart Bogle's flute and sax parts - make for a record splashed with beguiling texture and sonic surprise. The other members of TV On The Radio were also around during the recording sessions - Tunde, Kyp, Gerard and Jaleel all make guest appearances as vocalists on various tracks.
