This is a short documentary that chronicles Wild Child's recording sessions with Chris Walla as part of the making of the album "Expectations."

From Alexander Beggins of Wild Child - "It was time to get back on the road so we put recording on the back burner for a minute and headed out on a long European tour. After a month of shows in Ireland, the UK, Germany, Denmark and France we ended up at our last show in Oslo, Norway where we met Chris Walla (Death Cab).
He had been living on a small really fucking cold and beautiful island called Tromso, so we flew what gear we had with us up there after our last show and recorded with him for a few weeks. We were doing 14 hour studio days and things started to get pretty silly towards the end.

We had been trying to see the Northern Lights our entire stay but the weather forecast showed very little promise that they would come out. On our very last night we all stepped outside and looked up at the skies and there they were in all of their beautiful glory. Walla is a master producer and by the end of our stay we walked away with “Think It Over”, “Follow Me”, “Leave It Alone” and “Eggshells.” There is something really special about making music with your friends that far away from home. We cooked all meals together, made the mile trek through the snow to the studio every morning and shared a nightly night cap ritual at the local pub. I don’t think we had ever been closer as a group."
