Background

Lead singer Pete Murray and guitarist Neil Godfrey first began working with each other in the late 1990s for the nu metal band Ultraspank. ^[1] After two albums, the band disbanded, though the two later started a new hard rock band in the early 2000s, called Lo-Pro. ^{[2] [3]} The band released their major record label debut, Lo-Pro in 2003, and despite a top 20 mainstream rock single, "Sunday", ^{[4] [5]} the band was dropped from their label. ^[6] After the split, Murray and Godfrey spent an extended five-year period of working on new material before releasing anything. The band found themselves with some material that was more centralized around acoustic guitar and electronic effects than Lo-Pro's hard rock sound. As such, the band decided to release the Lo-Pro acoustic/electronic sessions under a different moniker; the pseudonym Life On Planet 9. ^{[7] [8]} The band finally released their debut album, Bittersweet , in August 2011. ^[9] and released a second album, The Theory of Everything in 2014. ^[10]

A third album from the band was first announced on New Year's Eve 2015 with a 2016 release date intended. ^[11] The first single from the album, "All Your Words", was released on January 6, 2017. ^{[12] [13]} The album's name, Higher, was announced a week later on January 13. ^{[14] [15]} A release date of January 31, 2017, was announced at the same time. ^[16]
