Leave Your Soul to Science

Dempsey said the album's lyrics contained an abundance of often cryptic black humour. He said he found the lyrics of "This Economy", a song of lost love set in the context of the global financial crisis, "hilariously funny". "The song reeks of (disgraced businessman) Bernie Madoff and it reeks of young Wall Street executives who equate the size of their wallets with the success of their human relationships," he said. Dempsey said he was not bothered if people misunderstood his lyrics. "If my humour doesn't translate, there shouldn't need to be a press release letting everyone know that I'm funny." The album's cover and inner book photography was by bassist Stephanie Ashworth.
