The album is the ARIA award winner's 9th LP and the first since 2009's The Rebirth of Venus.

Influenced by the birth of his daughter in 2009, Lee felt it was time to re-examine his life and career through his new music. "After having such a long career in music, and having had a baby, I just felt like music, in a way, it's sort of become a job that I could have just maintained at a certain level by doing it in a way that I knew how to do it," he explains

"And that became sort of terrifying to me. Music for me has always been a tool for working out exploring myself and exploring the world. It literally took me out of Australia onto a journey around the world. Or internally, it's the creativity – it unlocks things inside you and the audience. So I just wanted go deeper with that and I found working with the dream really powerful for that."

Deeper Into Dream is self produced, with Lee collaborating with Nic Johns, Lara Meyerratken, Petra Haden as well as mixing from Noah Georgeson (The Strokes, Devendra Banhard, Joanna Newsom).
