Background and recording

The band commenced writing for the album in 2006.[1]

The recording of the album was undertaken following a period of hiatus for the band and the relocation to Melbourne of lead singer–rhythm guitarist Kevin Mitchell.[2][3] Recording occurred at Blackbird Studios in Perth, Australia, and production duties were undertaken by Dave Parkin (owner of the studio) in collaboration with the band. Kevin Mitchell revealed in a radio interview:

It's probably the only time we've ever made a record where it was actually finished when it was finished. Every other time you're pretty much given a month or a two month block. When that last day ticks over the record is finished; whether it's finished or not. So this was an absolutely luxury to do it that way.[1]

On each of the twelve days leading up to the album's release, a short video (around one minute) was uploaded to the band's YouTube page, in which the band provides insight into each of the album's songs.[13]
