The songwriter couldn't use his regular rehearsal space because pal Paul Weller was recording there, so he decided to turn Archer's bedroom into a makeshift studio for a week.
He tells Mojo magazine, "We had to finish the tunes before Gem's kids got home from school.
"These demos were really rushed and they were pretty sparse. There were no backing vocals, no acoustic guitars.
"I was looking at Gem, going, 'I'd have put trumpets on it, but your kids were knocking at the door.'"
