"Brighter Than Gold" led the way into Steal the Light, the Cat Empire's sixth album, in 2013, and it came out swinging, with Harry James Angus and Ross Irwin on trumpet, Kieran Conrau on trombone, Ryan Monro on bass, Ollie McGill on keyboard, and Will Hull-Brown and Felix Riebl on percussion. As a single it did good business for the Australian band.
Jan Skubiszewski produced, engineered and mixed it, with Michael O'Connell assisting, the start of a run of three Cat Empire albums he would produce. The album was a new beginning in other ways too: their first release on an independent label, through Inertia Records and Two Shoes Records, and the end of the longest wait between albums they had put fans through at that point, close to three years after Cinema.
