In an interview with the "Daily Record", Goodwin stated that the Doves will take a break from recording. In the time following the band's 2010 touring to support "", Goodwin revealed that he's hoping to collaborate with friend and Elbow lead singer Guy Garvey after talking about recording songs together for years. "There are a couple of tracks that we have passed back and forwards to each other but it's having the time. We keep trying to get our diaries together, who knows if it will ever get released. I'm just waiting to see what might happen." Goodwin and Garvey have collaborated in the past, with each musician's respective band. Goodwin contributed backing vocals to "Grace Under Pressure" on Elbow's 2003 album "Cast of Thousands", while Garvey sang backing vocals on "Snowden" and "Almost Forgot Myself" on Doves' 2005 album "Some Cities".
