Three Futures was recorded in Stockport and Dorset, England once again with co-producer Rob Ellis, who also produced her last album, Sprinter. David Tolomei was chosen to mix the album.[10]

Artwork

The album cover prominently features an example of the at the time frequented satirized manspreading trend. Torres explained it reminded her of the idea that “men take up more space”.[11]
