Singles

The fourth single from the album, "Star Machine", was released in 2000 as a promotional single only.[2] It received some airplay on community radio stations and Triple J.[3] The song was used on the soundtrack for season one of the Logie award-winning Australian drama series, McLeod's Daughters.[4]

Background

The album was recorded in April 1999 with US producer Mark Trombino (Knapsack, Jimmy Eat World, Blink 182). On the choice of producer, Kevin Mitchell said:

We chose him because he'd done the last two records by Knapsack... they're kinda like a discordant punk band, this weird indie rock pop punk crossover. We mainly made the decision because of the direction we could see the songs going. They were still pop songs like Odway but they were getting more complicated, not as straightforward, they had a bit more depth to them.
