Whilst on tour with Errors in October 2010, vocalist James Graham stated that "the next is not going to be anything like the first two. [... The wall of sound is kinda gone. Andy 's demos involve a lot of keyboards, and it's a lot more considered." Additional musician Martin "Dok" Doherty also stated that "the band who make the same record over and over don't have a very long career." The band returned to the studio in January 2011. In April 2011, the band released a free acoustic EP on their official blog. The release featured stripped-back renditions of tracks from both "Forget the Night Ahead" and "The Wrong Car".
