Haug (formerly of Powderfinger) came on board to partner the iconic guitar playing of founding member Peter Koppes. Describing this album, 'The magic started on day one,' says singer/bass player Steve Kilbey. 'Someone strummed a chord or struck a drum or plucked a note and we were off. We wrote and recorded like demons and it was inspiring to feel every member using all his resources in the service of this record'. Twenty-six songs were born over eight days of exploration in Sydney in late 2013. Guitarist Peter Koppes, recalibrating his personal canvas in the absence of his long-time foil Marty Wilson-Piper, drew palpable inspiration from the quartet's remixed chemistry. 'This new incarnation of the band with Ian Haug has brought a joyous energy to the music we've written together,' he says.
