The album was produced by Iha and Nathan Larson at Iha’s New York studio. Iha said he took his time creating the follow-up so he could make the purest record possible. “I wanted this record to be more eclectic and reflect all of my tastes, which is why it took so long”, he said.

His last solo effort Let It Come Down was was released in 1998, and Iha says this new album shows his musical experiences in between: “It was important to me for the record to be multi-dimensional and complex. Being a part of the Smashing Pumpkins, and working with so many other bands and artists since my last album, gave me a fresh perspective on what music could be.”

Iha has also brought in several guests to help out on Look to the Sky, including the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Karen O and Nick Zinner, Tegan and Sara’s Sara Quin, Fountains of Wayne’s Adam Schlesinger, and Television guitarist Tom Verlaine.
