Background and live performances

In September 2011, the band announced the release of the album for October 11. [1] On September 15, the band broadcast a trailer of the album, [2] which featured two songs - "Another Case" and "Same High".

Meanwhile, a Nocturnes tour was planned all over America and in Europe in countries such as U.K, Netherlands, known as the Keep A Breast Tour to raise awareness, [1] going from March 2011 to May 2012 with over 40 dates.

Camila Grey, the band's singer, states that the album's title refers to night and darkness, while Leisha Hailey explains that it's about things you work out when you're asleep.

Release

The release of Nocturnes was kicked off with a music video for the song Another Case. [5] Music videos were also released for Wake To Sleep, Debris, and Human Nature.

The song "Same High" appears on the soundtrack of the comedy-drama film The Kids Are All Right [6] and the song "Time Stand Still" appears on the soundtrack of the TV show The Secret Circle .
