Following the Brexit referendum, Luke Pritchard wanted to maintain The Kooks' European connection by going to Berlin to work with writer and producer Tobias Kuhn. [2] After coming up with five tracks, the COVID-19 pandemic brought work to a halt in March 2020, which meant Pritchard had to return to the U.K. and continue the writing sessions with Kuhn via Zoom. Afterwards, Kuhn traveled to London to record with the band. [3]
With a desire to do new things, [4] The Kooks chose to release the songs from 10 Tracks to Echo in the Dark as a series of EPs. Connection - Echo in the Dark Part 1 - containing "Connection", "Jesse James" and "Modern Days" - was released on 27 January 2022, [2] followed by Beautiful World - Echo in the Dark Part 2 containing "Closer", "Beautiful World" and "25" - on 21 April 2022. [3] The single "Cold Heart" was released on 27 June 2022, [5] with the remaining songs - "Oasis", "Sailing on a Dream" and "Without a Doubt" - dropping on the album's release date of 22 July 2022.

The Unutterable is the 21st album by English rock band the Fall, released in 2000. It was recorded with much the same lineup as had appeared on the group's previous album, 1999's The Marshall Suite. However, whilst this version of the band was still coming together as the previous album was being made, by the time of the current record, they had had a year to jell as a unit. Therefore, while there is some similarity in the sound of the two, The Unutterable was much more consistent in its production and songwriting. It was generally well received by the critics, being praised as a "career peak" by Dave Simpson of The Guardian and prompting Piers Martin of the NME to suggest, "...this is as vital and relevant as The Fall have sounded for a considerable length of time. "

Frontman Andy McCluskey opted for a more organic, acoustic sound on the record, which peaked at number 24 on the UK Albums Chart. It was generally well-received by music critics, although the British media's overall resistance to OMD – who had been rendered unfashionable by the prevalence of grunge and indie rock – prompted McCluskey to dissolve the group. Universal was their last album until 2010's History of Modern.
