The Beginning and the End of Everything, Josh Pyke's fourth studio album, came out through Ivy League Records on 5 July 2013, and the Australian singer-songwriter dressed his songs up this time without smothering them. He co-produced it with John Castle and sings lead, Ben Edgar spreads baritone, electric and lap steel guitars across the arrangements, Kieran Conrau and Ross Irwin bring in horns, and Holly Throsby lends her voice. The result is warm and unhurried, the lap steel glinting at the edges like late sun on a windscreen.
It went in at No. 7 on the ARIA albums chart, his fourth top-ten album in a row, and earned a nomination for Best Adult Contemporary Album at that year's ARIA Music Awards. It followed Only Sparrows, and "Leeward Side" is the song that found its way onto the countdowns.
