The Beautiful Lie was co-produced with Jari Haapalainen, and features contributions from The Magic Numbers, who sing backing vocals on “Revolution in the Heart”; Graham Coxon, who plays guitar on first single “Visit from the Dead Dog”; and Ed’s wife Gita, who plays violin throughout and sings duet vocals on the track “Braille”. He later described the release as “the bête noire of the albums”.
