Little Birdy . The album was recorded inLos Angeles and by produced by John King (one half of legendary production duo TheDust Brothers -Beck ,Beastie Boys ) and engineerClif Norrell .The first single released from the album was "Come on Come on" which reached #18 on its debut on the Australian ARIA Singles Charts and was one of the top most requested songs on
Triple J ."Actually the initial title for the album was actually going to be "Inside I’m Crying, Outside I’m Dancing" which kind of describes the feeling for the album as a whole but in the end we decided on "Hollywood" explains Katy. "I wrote the title song a few weeks before we even starting looking into where to record the album and as far as we knew we were probably going to record somewhere in the UK. It was weird that the song came before we knew we were going there."
"We had pretty much all of the album demo’d before going over to record with John so we were in a much better position mentally than the first album." says drummer Matt.
"I think there was actually a lot less pressure on us this time around. At least this time we knew our audience and knew what to expect, so that made it easier" agrees bassist Scott.
