Background

Dempsey has revealed that he was initially reluctant to record the album, but was encouraged by his two other bandmates from Something For Kate. Clint Hindman, the drummer, had opened a bar in his hometown of Melbourne, Australia, and bassist, Stephanie Ashworth, was exploring other pursuits such as photography while Dempsey worked on the album.
