Killing Heidi

Killing Heidi is the third album by Australian rock band Killing Heidi, released by Columbia Records in Australia on 30 August 2004. It was the band's first album without their producer Paul Kosky—who worked on their previous albums and has a more "sophisticated and grittier" feel to it with the lead singer, Ella Hooper, stating that releasing the album is "just like a re-launch". Killing Heidi debuted in the top ten on the Australian ARIA Albums Chart, making it their second top ten album and sales were similar to those of Killing Heidi's second album, Present – both were certified gold by ARIA for 35,000 units shipped. Their third album gave Killing Heidi another top twenty single with "I Am", but its second single, "Calm Down" was not a major hit. The band's mandate for the album was to "keep things simple", with lead singer Hooper stating "More than ever before, this record is about us just being ourselves." The album was produced in Los Angeles with English/Indian producer John Travis. Hooper described him as "a bloody brilliant guy to work with. John guided us well but also really listened to our ideas and encouraged our feedback.
