Following a pilgrimage from Adelaide to Melbourne, Skye Harbour spent the bulk of 2007 refining their stage-craft, and introducing themselves to the competitive music scenes of Melbourne and Sydney.
In 2008 they released their debut EP Houses, winning themselves not only a solid fan-base but also the MTV Kickstart Award. The relocation, however, took a significant toll on the band's writing.
As the members of the band adjusted to their new surroundings it became apparent that the group were losing the musical cohesion that had brought them their former successes.
The conclusion: the band transitioning from a five piece to a four.
While at the time Skye Harbour felt the change to be regressive, it turned out to be quite the opposite. Not only did it spawn a new musical path for the former members but it also gave birth to a new batch of songs.
The downsize has given the members more room to move both physically and musically, allowing them to develop into an accomplished and mature group.
