What the label says:

THE HIVES ARE BACK! SCREAM IT LOUD, SCREAM IT PROUD! Yes, that’s right folks Sweden’s greatest export since Ikea returns to the UK’s shores this October with a new album, appropriately titled The Black And White Album, and this first single taken from it Tick Tick Boom. It’s been 3 long years since the last record from The Hives and the UK rock scene has been a much duller place for their absence. In that respect it’s only right that the band should explode back onto the map with a bang with the dynamite Tick Tick Boom.

The Black and White Album is a record of inhuman proportions, recorded all over the world “because we thought it was time to have other people involved besides ourselves and our closest friends”. After some initial recording at Hive Manor, for the first time THE HIVES ventured outside of Sweden to put music to tape. The majority of the album was recorded in Mississippi with producer Dennis Herring (Modest Mouse, Elvis Costello). They also met with Pharrell Williams in Miami and “made some music with him too”. A week in London at the historic Olympic studios with Jacknife Lee (U2, Bloc Party, Editors) also bore fruit. Back home another song was recorded with fellow Swede Tomas Oberg from the band bob hund.
