Background
Dempsey has revealed that he was initially reluctant to record the album, but was encouraged by his two other bandmates from Something For Kate. Clint Hindman, the drummer, had opened a bar in his hometown of Melbourne, Australia, and bassist, Stephanie Ashworth, was exploring other pursuits such as photography while Dempsey worked on the album.{{cite web|title=Paul Dempsey, The Austrade Interview|url=http://www.undercover.fm/news/10968-paul-dempsey-the-austrade-interview|work=Undercover|accessdate=2 September 2012|author=Bernd Bruggemann|date=9 June 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140226034736/http://www.undercover.fm/news/10968-paul-dempsey-the-austrade-interview|archive-date=26 February 2014|url-status=usurped}}
