Bright Yellow Bright Orange (2003) Oceans Apart (2005)

Oceans Apart is the ninth and final album by The Go-Betweens, released in 2005. All the songs were written by Grant McLennan and Robert Forster. The album was recorded at the Good Luck Studios in London between November 2004 through to January 2005, except for "Boundary Rider" which was recorded at The White Room Recording Studio in Brisbane.

The live recordings on the bonus disc were recorded at The Barbican Concert Hall, London on June 27, 2004.

The album won the 2005 "Adult Contemporary Album" award at the 2005 ARIA music awards.

Many reviews and fans complained of the aggressively loud and distorted mastering of the initial release by Jon Astley to the extent that Lo-Max offered to exchange the original pressing for a newer release where the problem is less evident.
