Album history

The production of the album was first revealed towards the end of September 2009, when the band announced on their MySpace that they had "packed up their gear and headed to the rolling green hills of Monmouth, Wales to record album #4." They also announced that Gil Norton (Foo Fighters, Pixies) would be producing the album.^[3]

Gyroscope uploaded "Live Without You" to their MySpace in January 2010, the first song released from the album. It was later put up as a free download for fans.

On 28 January 2010, the band revealed that the first single, "Some of the Places I Know", would be released on 1 February 2010 to radio, with a music video. They also announced the release date of the album to be 9 April 2010, and the album title, Cohesion.^[4][5]

On 3 March, Gyroscope announced they would be releasing three "Cohesion" preview videos on YouTube, two of which have been released. Part 1^[6] was released on 10 March, featuring previews of the song "What Do I Know About Pain?" from the album, as well as the members of Gyroscope talking about the album. Part 2^[7] came out on 19 March, featuring more footage of the personnel working on the album, as well as the band recording the song "I Still Taste Blood". Part 3^[8] came out on 28 March, featuring snippets of the songs "Fifty 500" and "Don't Forget Me When I Die". The intro to "Baby, I'm Gettin' Better" was used as the starter to all 3 videos, and the outro to "White Dove/Black Crow" was at the end of all 3 videos.

The single, "Some of the Places I Know", was made available as a digital download on 19 April 2010. It came with a bonus track, named "Spanish Flies". The single debuted at #32 on the ARIA Charts, making it their second highest charting single and their fifth charting single.

Since 1 April, the entire album has been available for listening on the band's MySpace.

"Some of the Places I Know" has been selected by the AFL side, West Coast Eagles, as part of its 2010 brand campaign.^[9] The band members are all self confessed fans of the Eagles football team.^[10]

"What Do I Know About Pain?", the 3rd release from the album "Cohesion", was released to Australian radio in late-August 2010.
