The Brink is the second studio album by Australian indie rock band The Jezabels. It was self-released on 31 January 2014 and internationally, through PIAS Recordings and Dine Alone Records. The album was recorded in London with producer Dan Grech-Marguerat.[1] Lead single "The End" was released on 18 October 2013,[1] with its music video uploaded on the group's official YouTube channel on 14 November. The track reached number 81 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart.[2] The album debuted at number 2 on the Australian ARIA Albums Chart.[3] It received generally mixed reviews from critics.[4]
Prior to the release of the album, the group made a webisode series documenting the recording process.[1] On the differences between their first and second albums, Hayley Mary told news.com.au: "We were facing the second album thing which is a cliche but it's straight-up true. The second album is hard. Working with a new producer, new label involved, away from our families and Dave our manager, it was different. But lyrically, the album is more a year in the life of (me as) a person because I have always pretended things were not about me in the lyrics. This one is personal."[5]
All tracks written by Hayley Mary, Heather Shannon, Sam Lockwood, and Nik Kaloper.
