New Wild Everywhere was recorded by the full band in a studio, a departure from their earlier practice of recording in unconventional locations like abandoned grain silos or churches. Despite this cleaner production, "Think That You Might Be Wrong" is often highlighted as a standout track that successfully blends the band's traditional folk roots with a more driving, pop-influenced rhythm.
