The third album, We're In the Music Biz , created in collaboration with Chris Corner ( IAMX / Sneaker Pimps ), was recorded in Berlin. “Tears” became the “alternative single of the week” from Steve Lamacq on BBC6 Music . The clip for The Sex Has Made Me Stupid was banned on MTV and Topshop . We're In The Music Biz was also released in Japan by Avex Records.
The fourth studio album, Happiness V Sadness, was recorded with the support of fans: their charitable contributions covered all the costs associated with creating the album. This campaign was successfully completed thanks to the Pledge Music website.
