We Come From The Same Place

We Come from the Same Place is the third and final studio album by indie band Allo Darlin'. It was released by Fortuna Pop! Records on 6 October 2014 in the UK and by Slumberland Records on 7 October 2014 in the US. It received mostly positive reviews, with critics noting the songwriting of Elizabeth Morris and the vocals and guitar work of Paul Rains.

We Come from the Same Place is the third album by London-based Anglo-Australian indie band Allo Darlin'. It is the first recording from the band since singer Elizabeth Morris moved to Florence, Italy, whilst the rest of the band members remained in London. Morris moved when her husband found employment in Italy. While the band logistics were affected by the move, it did not cause any real issues. "It's really doable, and for me, the difference in my quality of life and how much I'm enjoying life is so worth it", Morris said. Around the same time, Morris also released Optimism, a solo four track EP recorded with help from English singer-songwriter and guitarist Darren Hayman.

In 2013, the band rehearsed the songs for the album during a tour of small venues in London. "We had the idea that it would be great to road-test the new songs before we put them to tape," Morris announced. The album was recorded mostly live that same summer at Soup Studios in London, with minimal overdubs. The production resulted in a grittier sound than previous albums by the band. Simon Trought, who produced their debut album Allo Darlin' (2010), returned to produce this album.

We Come from the Same Place was released on vinyl and CD, as well as via digital download, with liner notes written by Darren Hayman.
