Augie March returned to the studio in 2004 to record a follow-up to "Strange Bird". The band worked with two producers, Paul McKercher and Eric Drew Feldman, and recorded in Melbourne, San Francisco, and their own studio in Nagambie, Victoria. Donovan said it was more suited to the band's style; as they co-produced on all their albums, they took a great deal of interest in production. He said it also enabled them to work at their own pace, hence the four-year gap between releases. They released a DVD, "Drones & Vapid Ditties", containing live performances and music videos, in mid-2004. The band's upcoming album, according to Triple J, was inspired by the streets of Melbourne. Upon completion of the initial recording sessions of "Moo, You Bloody Choir", there was a six-month delay before release, as Augie March meticulously added finishing touches to it. In March 2006, the album was finally released.
