A song called "Colin" with Colin Hay on it sounds like a tribute, but Oliver Leimbach says it isn't about him. The Australian duo released it in November 2022 as the third single from their third album, Enough of the Sweet Talk, which didn't arrive until 2024. It started in lockdown, when Hay would go live on Instagram with his guitar: one day Oliver played along and had the start of the tune written by that afternoon, so the band asked Hay to finish the job by singing the final chorus.
Louis Leimbach has called Hay an inspiration since high school, singling out his solo acoustic work. NME heard one of the band's more ballad-like efforts, a gently rolling, folk-leaning melody lifted by soaring violins, and in 2024 it picked up nominations at both the APRA Music Awards and the Rolling Stone Australia Awards.
