Are You Involved?, the second major-label album from Perth rockers Gyroscope, came out in Australia on 25 September 2005 and debuted at number 20. It nearly got made somewhere else entirely: the plan was to cut it at Sing Sing Studios in Melbourne with Blink 182's Mark Hoppus producing, until Hoppus pulled out ten days before the sessions. The band landed Mark Trombino, whose credits include Jimmy Eat World and the Living End, at the eleventh hour and relocated to North Hollywood to record.
The upheaval doesn't show. It's a tight, wound-up alternative rock record, all serrated guitars and shout-along hooks, and the double A-side "Fast Girl" / "Beware Wolf" followed it out. It was nominated for the J Award for Australian Album of the Year, and at the 2006 West Australian Music Industry Awards it won Most Popular Album.
