Background

Turner wrote, recorded and produced Undefeated in his home studio on Mersea Island, backed by his long-time band The Sleeping Souls: Ben Lloyd (guitar), Tarrant Anderson (bass), Callum Green (drums) and Matt Nasir (piano). [1] It is also the first album of his without a big label involved in over a decade. [2] The artist refers to the album as his "first back home with a global independent label setup" and celebrates the freedom of working as an "independent artist". [3]

In a statement, Turner explained that there are "no clichés" about the album, which might be "liberating" to him but at the same time feels like having a "duty to justify writing and releasing" a tenth album. [4] Undefeated was inspired by long-time influences, including Black Flag, Counting Crows, Descendents, The Pogues, Elvis Costello, and Billy Bragg. [1]
