In 2005, Thorn co-wrote and recorded vocals for the song "Damage", a collaboration with German band Tiefschwarz that appeared on their "Eat Books" album. Thorn's second solo album, "Out of the Woods", was then released in 2007, followed by her third solo album, "Love and Its Opposite", in 2010. In October 2011, Thorn released a cover version of The xx's "Night Time", on which Watt played guitar and sang backing vocals. This was their first recording together in over a decade, although it was not an Everything but the Girl release.
