Background and development[edit]
On 29 September 2009, Frankmusik stated on his Twitter page that he had begun working upon new material for Do it in the AM.[6] In November 2009, he moved to Los Angeles because he "wanted to sever any semblance of a safety net."[7] He later stated in an interview that he made the move to LA because he "needed to have a fresh start, just to keep creative. Keep the story interesting, you know? Just move on."[8] In 2010, it was announced that Frankmusik had been signed to Cherrytree Records, an imprint of Interscope Records, by its founder, Martin Kierszenbaum.
By the end of 2010, Frankmusik had already announced the release of a promo single off the record, "The Fear Inside".[9]
Commercial performance[edit]
Upon its release the album failed to chart, and by 2013 was reported to have sold 2,000 copies in the US according to Nielsen Soundscan.[18]
