David Gray’s debut album, 'A Century Ends', was released in 1993, followed by 'Flesh' in 1994. After touring with the likes of Radiohead and the Dave Matthews Band in support of his third album 'Sell, Sell, Sell', David decided to self-finance his fourth album, 'White Ladder', and release it on his own label, IHT Records, in 1998. As David’s recording success grew, so did his reputation as a live performer as he toured all around the world playing such iconic venues as London’s Earls Court and Royal Albert Hall, New York’s Madison Square Garden, and the Los Angeles Hollywood Bowl. In 2016, David released 'The Best of David Gray' and 'Gold In A Brass Age' in 2019. During the span of his career thus far, he has the best selling album in Ireland ever with 'White Ladder', a BAFTA nomination, two Ivor Novellos, a Q award, two Brit nominations, and a Grammy nomination.

Garth Purver explains that the band were aiming for a more rounded and complete record that showcased multiple sides to us but hung together as one piece of work rather than a collection of separate tracks. While Andrew Jones mentions how the band encouraged each other to pull on those strands and incorporate more of our personal taste in the sound.
