Nocturnes is the second studio album from Uh Huh Her, which was released on October 11, 2011 worldwide. The album has so far had four singles and music video, "Another Case", "Disdain", "Wake To Sleep" and most recently, "Human Nature".

Background and live performances

In September 2011, the band announced the release of the album for October 11. On September 15, the band broadcast a trailer of the album, which featured the songs "Another Case" and "Same High".

The album is produced by and features Wendy Melvoin of Wendy & Lisa.

On January 9, the band was invited on Jimmy Kimmel's show to perform the songs "Marstorm" and "Disdain". The video gained 12,000 views in three days.

Meanwhile, a Nocturnes tour was planned all over America and in Europe in countries such as U.K, Netherlands. It went from March 2011 to May 2012 with over 40 dates.

Camila Grey, the band's singer, states that the album's title refers to night and darkness, while Leisha Hailey explains that it's about things you work out when you're asleep.

Release

Unlike Common Reaction, Nocturnes was written without the help of a manager and producer. The whole album was made by the band. They raised money for the album by selling goodies, painting, and finally recorded the album "with no pressure" as Hailey says.

Media use

The song "Same High" appears on the soundtrack of the comedy-drama film The Kids Are All Right and the song "Time Stand Still" appears on the soundtrack of the TV show The Secret Circle. It is also said that the song "Human Nature" was supposed to feature in a Twilight movie.
