Though its vast sonic landscape may make it hard to believe, American Bully XL is in large part the result of a tightly controlled experiment. The group—Thom Waddill, Anthony Laurence, Jack Owens, Roman Parnell—drove out to Long Beach, California, to escape the Texas summer heat for a three week stint at Dutch Interior's home studio with very little written. Between trips to the beach, the idea was to remove themselves from the familiar, chase sounds in dark rooms, and see if they could shape them into new material. They refined the material on a tour of the South with Dutch Interior that fall, where Davis Stewart began developing what would become the record’s visual language. That winter, they turned Anthony’s house in Austin into a studio and shepherded the recordings into their final forms.
