"Broken Bones" comes from Universes, the second Birds of Tokyo album, which the band put out independently in July 2008. Ian Kenny wrote the words, and the music is credited to him with Anthony Jackson, Adam Spark and Adam Weston. The record was cut at Loop Studios and Wing Command in Perth and in a wooden house by the sea at Injidup in Western Australia, then shipped off to North Hollywood, where Tim Palmer mixed it at Ameraycan Studios.
The band made the most of that California trip: out in Lancaster they shot the videos for "Broken Bones" and "Silhouettic", two halves of one story. Oddly enough, the "Silhouettic" clip, the second chapter, went out first. Universes went on to a J Awards nomination for Australian Album of the Year.
