In May 2012, Julia told ''Rolling Stone'' (Australia) that the duo had shelved work on a third album, indefinitely: "It was too much to think we could only pick six songs each… We were both in a place where we really wanted creative space to go in whatever direction we wanted so we were like 'let's just take a year out. She explained that those songs were unlikely to be heard, but maintained the group would reunite after their solo projects. That same month, Julia released her second solo album, ''By the Horns'',
which debuted at No. 11 on the ARIA Albums Chart.
She described writing the songs and temporarily parting with Angus, "
had already been working on a new record together but it didn't feel right ... I was thinking 'I'll make it now and we'll figure out what happens when it happens. "Then Angus and I were talking on the phone and he'd been working on more stuff on his own as well and we both just agreed – we were both in the same place, ready to put together a collection of our own songs". From late 2011 Angus had worked on his second solo album, ''Broken Brights'', which was released in July 2012, and reached No. 2.
He told Garin Fahlman of ''Vancouver Weekly'' that he had "discovered a lot about time ... Just in general. To take a step back and let something unfold and breathe and become ripe when it says it's time". In November 2012, Megan Sauers of ''Venture Mag'' reported that Angus & Julia Stone were due to tour Europe during January and February 2013.
In early December 2012, Julia and Angus each performed solo slots at

The producer said of the experience: "This album is extraordinary; Angus and Julia are truly unique musicians. They are authentic and pure people who do things from the heart. I've never worked with anyone like them before." The album has been said to contain "blended
