more record labels than albums." In 2009, the band embarked on a short tour supporting a "re-mastered, re-sequenced and almost re-packaged" version of Quick the Word, Sharp the Action before becoming inactive for several years. Hiatus, Ideas Above Our Station anniversary shows, and Undead Raisins (2009–2021) Reflecting on the band's extended hiatus, Colin Doran noted: "After Quick The Word, personally for me that felt like it was going to be it. I’m quite pragmatic and I think it had some good songs on it, but it wasn’t what I would call our best record. Things were on a bit of a downward turn, to be open and frank about it.

On 8 May, the band revealed that guitarist Paul Townsend would no longer be performing with the band at 2000Trees or Big Day Out. In November 2012 the band played their Ideas Above
