Background and release Edit

After the release of When the Flood Comes in 2008, band members Cameron Goodall and Michael Green left for other musical projects, leaving Taasha Coates and Tristan Goodall as a duo. Coates said the departure came without "bitter sentiments" saying "They're lovely boys, but Tristan and I found that once we got into the studio to record, it felt really liberating because we could really free up the arrangements and have different instruments on them and get in different guests, so it ended up being a really positive thing."

Prior to the writing of Sometimes the Stars, Coates embarked on a backpacking trip across India. Coates said "I went for a five-week holiday with my partner – I used to do a lot of travel when I was younger. I've done a lot of travel with the band, but it's so different 'cause you have to lug around your shoes and your nice frocks and make-up. I wanted to travel with one pair of jeans, one pair of shoes and a sleeping bag – it was just a really nice thing to do."[1]

A few months later, and after some writing sessions, Coates and Goodall set off on a tour as a duo, road-testing some of the songs that would eventually end up on the album. Coates said "We've taken our time writing this record... we felt really rushed writing the second record, so we really wanted to give ourselves a bit of time. The heart of the band's always been Tristan and I, so I think it's more honest, in a way, to bring it back to the two of us."[3] Coates recorded her vocals in single takes so as to capture the spontaneity of their live performance.[1]
