Kimbra was inspired by Greek mythology for the album and spent time in a small sheep farm in the middle of Los Angeles . Kimbra went to the farm the day after the 2013 Grammys . " I 'd been caught up with all the Grammy and Gotye stuff happening , and the touring , the constant affirmation — or praise , or criticism , or self-reflection — everywhere , " she said . " You get wrapped up in it . Then here I was chilling with a bunch of sheep . And they do n't give a crap who you are . You 're not special to them . You spend time with them and there 's this beautiful kind of harmony of how everything works in that environment . It was a really great space to create . " The cover and all the photographs of '' The Golden Echo 's '' booklet were shot by Thom Kerr , who also directed the music video for " Miracle "
