At the time of recording The Exquisite Death in June 2005, Matthew Doty (guitar, keyboards) was still working with line-up changes with only Stephen Roessner (drums, percussion) and Matthew Stone (guitar) as full-time members of the live group. It was not until the band’s spring 2006 Japan tour that the five-member roster, including William Stichter (bass) and Oliver Chapoy (guitar, keyboards,) became the standard. The sound of this five-member live performance is what Saxon Shore wanted to capture with a new album. The addition of keyboards and electronics was kept to a minimum.
When rehearsals and demo sessions started, the group had maintained a consistent lineup for nearly 4 years. Eventually, the band was ready to enter the studio to record It Doesn’t Matter, working once again with producer Dave Fridmann (MGMT, Clap Your Hands, The Flaming Lips).
