In May 2010 the band began working with different producers on demoing the record, before recording the album with Peter Miles in June. The band previewed new material throughout their October–November UK headline tour, before releasing the first single from the new album, "Collarbone" on 22 November 2010. The single was released through Big Scary Monsters Recording Company, who would also release the track "Edith Wharton" on their end of year compilation. On 10 March 2011 the band announced that their sophomore album "The Wages of Fear" would be released from Naim Edge. Due to someone within the music press illegally leaking an unfinished version of the album, the decision was made to make the complete album available to stream on 28 April 2011. Second single "Say Silence (Heaven & Earth)" was released on 5 June 2011, with the album released the following week on 13 June 2011. "The Wages of Fear" was positively received by critics, praising the band's shift towards writing more intelligent indie rock. The band began their seventeen date headline tour in support of the album, before releasing third single "Edith" on 10 October 2011 which was supported by a further thirteen date headline tour of the United Kingdom. The track was also featured in the reality television show Made in Chelsea. On 9 December 2011 the band released a standalone Christmas single titled "Good Luck It's Christmas". The pay what you want single was in support of the charity Campaign Against Living Miserably and was subsequently played on Radio 1. The final single from the album, "Freud Links The Teeth & The Heart" was released on 28 May 2012. The band went on a small tour in May before playing a number of festivals over the summer months, including: Truck Festival, Two Thousand Trees Festival, Southsea Fest and Play Fest. In late 2012 the band decided to remaster and reissue their out-of-print debut album "Contact! Contact!", marking the fifth anniversary of its original release. Naim Edge rereleased the record on 3 December 2012, with the band performing the album in its entirety across a small tour. After finishing their record deal with Naim Edge in 2012, the band returned to their jobs outside of Tellison. The band first began working on new material in June 2012. After attempts to sign a new record-deal proved fruitless, the band decided to self finance the sessions. Recording the album with producer Andy Jenkin began in November 2013. The sessions were drawn out over the following year, with the band fitting recording around their other jobs.
