Dark Horses is the third album by Australian alternative rock band The Getaway Plan, released on 3 July 2015.

Background

On 1 November 2014, The Getaway Plan announced plans to release their third full-length record, Dark Horses. The band chose to set up a crowd-funding campaign through PledgeMusic so that they could remain independent and release the album without a record label.[1]

Dark Horses is the first album by The Getaway Plan to be fully written and recorded in Australia. They worked alongside long-time friend and producer Sam K creating the record between November 2014 and March 2015. Dark Horses was recorded at both The Studios in the City in Brunswick and at Sing Sing Studios in Cremorne.[2]

Dark Horses was released on 3 July 2015.[3] The album debuted at #10 on the ARIA Albums Chart, marking the bands highest charting position ever in Australia with their debut LP Other Voices, Other Rooms peaking at #14 and their sophomore record Requiem reaching #17. [4]
