Although Crummer had been offered a number of record contracts following her appearance on the Netherworld Dancing Toys' 1985 hit "For Today," which reached No. 3 on the New Zealand charts, she prioritized her membership in supergroup When The Cat's Away and did not begin work on her first major solo project until 1991. [5] Produced by Crummer herself alongside Nigel Stone, much of Language was recorded in Auckland, though parts were also recorded in Wellington, Sydney, [6] and the Cook Islands, her father's home country.
