Falling Up's next project was teased as "The Machine De Ella" project. The project was eventually revealed to consist of two albums, "Hours" and "Midnight on Earthship", as well as an audio book, also titled "Hours", written by Jessy Ribordy. The idea for the project came when the band considered their two different fanbases. "Hours" was recorded as a concept album based on the book within the project, and was more rock-driven. "Midnight on Earthship" was recorded with a sound and lyrics more along the lines of their Christian roots, with its songs being more faith-based. Both of the albums and the book began their launch on October 9, 2012, and were progressively released over the course of three months.
