Background and recording
After the success of his first album, 1996's Inarticulate Nature Boy, Clayton-Felt prepared to release a new batch of songs under the title Center of Six.[1][2][3][4] However, A&M Records suspended all contracts and placed a freeze on recordings during their buyout by Universal Records, preventing the release of Center of Six.[2][3][5] While lobbying Universal Records to release its claim on the songs from the Center of Six sessions, Clayton-Felt continued to write and record a new batch of songs that were ultimately self-released under the title Beautiful Nowhere.[5]
