Background
Infusion started work on their second studio album, Six Feet Above Yesterday, in late 2002 with the line-up of Manuel Sharrad, Jamie Stevens and Frank Xavier – all on synthesisers and vocals.[1] In October 2003, the group relocated to Melbourne from Sydney and signed with Sony BMG.[2] They started on the album by making demo recordings at their own studio, in Carlton.[1] They travelled to London in January 2004 to work on it,[2] but returned to various Melbourne studios to record it with all three band members as producers.[3]
The trio were joined in the studio by session musicians, who provided guitars, cellos, horns, vibraphones, violins, trumpets and trombones.[4] Session musicians included Clint Hyndman from Something for Kate on drums, members of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, and John Davis from Daft Punk.[5]
Ahead of the album they issued two singles, "Girls Can Be Cruel" in April 2004 and "Better World" in June. Six Feet Above Yesterday was released on 20 September 2004, which peaked at No. 61 on the ARIA albums chart.[6] "The Careless Kind" was issued as its third single in December. "Natural", which appeared as a bonus track on a later album version, was issued as the album's fourth single in March 2005.
