One of the band's first main attempts at writing for this album together took place away from their usual surroundings, as frontman Luke Pritchard told Newsbeat, "We kind of barricaded ourselves in the countryside for a few weeks—stayed at some friend's who have a cottage in Norfolk." However, the band recently revealed that over two weeks there, the band only managed to make one new song: "Eskimo Kiss".

The band announced via social media that they had finished the new album on 30 March, which was eventually announced as <i><a href="/wiki/Junk_of_the_Heart" title="Junk of the Heart">Junk of the Heart</a></i>. The first single taken from the album was "Is It Me" for Europe and "Junk of the Heart" elsewhere. The album was released in Europe on 9 September 2011 and in the U.K. on 12 September. Garred appeared in the promotional videos for "Is It Me" and "Junk of the Heart", and performed with the band in live sessions for <a href="/wiki/Live_from_Abbey_Road#Series_4" title="Live from Abbey Road">Live from Abbey Road</a> and <a href="/wiki/Live_Lounge" title="Live Lounge">Live Lounge</a>. But for 2011 shows in the months prior to the album's release, Prendergast was still on drums, and when the band went on tour in October, they brought in session drummer Denny Weston who continued until mid-2012.
