Jet Age came at a pivotal moment for the band in 2000; following the release of their breakthrough debut album Sumo in 1998, the band were shot into spotlight – playing packed out crowds at the Big Day Out, touring relentlessly at home and overseas, and even picking up a few ARIAs along the way. All the strain and pressure put on the band eventually led to some internal turmoil, with founding guitarist Chris Tennent leaving the band and Tim Henwood taking his place.

The band worked with producer Ed Buller on the record (Suede, The Psychedelic Furs), writing their material on the road while touring in Los Angeles and laying it down in the studio in Sydney at Festival Studios. The eventual album debuted a new refined, mature sound for the band, and featured some of the biggest hits in their catalogue; including ‘Gravity’, ‘Secret Agent Man’, ‘Enough To Know’ and ‘Second Sun’. Jet Age went on to peak at #5 on the ARIA Albums chart in Australia, and was certified platinum in 2002 – with single ‘Gravity’ currently sitting on over 19 million streams alone.
