Background

On 1 November 2014, The Getaway Plan announced plans to release their third full-length record, Dark Horses. The band chose to set up a crowd-funding campaign through PledgeMusic so that they could remain independent and release the album without a record label.[1]

Dark Horses is the first album by The Getaway Plan to be fully written and recorded in Australia. They worked alongside long-time friend and producer Sam K creating the record between November 2014 and March 2015. Dark Horses was recorded at both The Studios in the City in Brunswick and at Sing Sing Studios in Cremorne.[2]

Dark Horses was released on 3 July 2015.[3] The album debuted at #10 on the ARIA Albums Chart, marking the band's highest charting position ever in Australia with their debut LP Other Voices, Other Rooms peaking at #14 and their sophomore record Requiem reaching #17.[4]

gollark: They probably *won't* be if the perception is that they will just do it arbitrarily and repeatedly for ages and it just slows down things at best.
gollark: Anyway, people have seemingly been mostly willing to engage in obeying lockdown when there was a clearish danger and it seemed like a temporary onetime thing.
gollark: Congratulations, you handed power over to the test designers?
gollark: Also, the more times they end up doing them the less willing people will be to actually abide by the rules.
gollark: Doing lockdowns has quite a wide range of problematic knock-on effects and should be avoided if possible.
