Desert Lights is Something for Kate's fifth studio album, released on 1 June 2006. "Cigarettes and Suitcases" was the first single to be released, followed later by "Oh Kamikaze". The third single "California" and its 3 b-sides were originally planned and released as an itunes exclusive only. However a few months later the band gave away CD pressings of this single to attendees of their two concerts at the Corner Hotel, Melbourne.
