Dig Your Own Hole was written and produced by Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons, who built its big beat tracks from samples and their own programming. The two most famous songs hand the microphone to guests: Noel Gallagher of Oasis sings and co-writes "Setting Sun," while Beth Orton returns for "Where Do I Begin" and Mercury Rev's Jonathan Donahue features on "The Private Psychedelic Reel." The duo wrote the rest of the album themselves, with sample credits to artists such as Schoolly D and Quincy Jones.
