Forming in Kilmarnock, Scotland, in early 2010, Fatherson made their name with 2014 debut album I Am An Island and its 2016 follow-up Open Book Their sophomore effort jumped straight in at No.2 in the Scottish album charts and performed strongly in the U.K.
Recorded live and in chronological sequence, Sum Of All Your Parts was produced Claudius Mittendorfer (Arctic Monkeys, Interpol and Weezer) - with the goal being to produce a more joyful album.

“A big part of this process was trying to capture that feeling of when you play a song together for the first time, and you look at each other in the face and get that smile that you can’t get rid of,” explains drummer Greg Walkinshaw. “We weren’t so concerned about some of the pop sensibilities – it’s a little bit more raw, and a little bit more loose, and a bit funner, at points.”
