announced title of third album

On 10 June 2007, it was announced that the title of their third album would be Beyond the Neighbourhood . The album was recorded by the band themselves in their own studio, and mixed by Ben Allen and Michael Brauer, who had worked on Tourist . Released on 3 September 2007, Beyond the Neighbourhood was a self-produced collection of low-key songs, viewed as a disappointment by some, and an interesting sidestep by others. Jonny Pilcher contributed additional guitar on 7 tracks. Pilcher then played live with the band on the subsequent tour. It entered at No. 5 on the UK album chart. Singles included Beach Boys-influenced ” Hurricane “, charting disappointingly at number 31, also ” Tokyo ” which missed the Top 100 (number 198) and ” The Outsiders EP “, which did not chart at all.
