 Vulture Street was recorded and developed over a seven @-@ week period in Sydney , Australia . It was during this time that " Sunsets " was written and produced . Nick DiDia produced the album , as he had done on previous Powderfinger albums including Odyssey Number Five . " Sunsets " was mixed in Atlanta , Georgia , by Brendan OBrien , who had previously worked with DiDia . Fanning described the album during production stages as " a much more dry , direct rock " , but also noted that " just because I rock , doesn 't mean I 'm made of stone " . In that sense , " Sunsets " ( and numerous other songs on Vulture Street ) were seen as emotive , combined with the rock elements Fanning described .
