Background and release

On 11 June 2019, Diesel released the song "By the Scars", the first track taken from the Sunset Suburbia project: a trilogy of EPs leading into an album in 2020.[4]

On 2 August, the first EP titled Sunset Suburbia Vol 1 was released with Diesel saying "For me, records have always been a little overwhelming. When I think back I've had panic attacks. When you are taking on something so big and then get through it, ironically when I get through it, I feel bummed when it comes to an end. Like, can't we just make it go a bit longer? The EP thing elongates the process and suits my lifestyle a bit more. It suits me creatively a lot more too". Diesel confirmed that EP one and two is complete adding "Every EP is like a mini album with a relativity between the songs. I do like to mix it up a bit with different styles. The next one is a lot different, it's not as Americana as the first one, it has an English feel".[5]

On 8 November 2019, the second EP Sunset Suburbia Vol 2 and single "In Reverse" were released and confirm that volume 3 was "under construction".[6]

In May 2020, the single "On the Inside" was released and the album release date of August 2020 was confirmed, abandoning the third EP.[1]

About the title, Diesel said "Suburbia has always held a strange fascination for me. I remember designer cul-de-sacs strewn with shotgun shells in Chandler, Arizona; little vignettes of skateboarding around closed service stations on weekends in Perth, Australia; some guy in the hot tub in his backyard where I'm riding my bike over the rail overpass in Sydney. I love going into where people live — the sights, the smells, the little repetitive things that make their world. It's kind of a bittersweet thing but it's the stuff of life and it has a way of making songs."[7]

The album includes the tracks "By the Scars" and "Wake Up with an Angel" from Sunset Suburbia Vol 1 and "In Reverse" and "Quietly Drift" from Sunset Suburbia Vol 2.
