The acoustic album will be a first as well....We're lagging but we're really hoping the get this acoustic record out first in the spring with a rock record right behind it."

Despite plans to release music in early 2008, the band feared the material felt more like a demo than a finished product, so they began to rework, expand, and further polish the material more in further recording sessions with

Additionally, the final version of the song "Texas" is a playable track for the game '' Tap Tap Revenge 3''.

''Bittersweet'' (2011)

After the release of ''The Beautiful Sounds of Revenge'', Murray confirmed that there were still intentions of releasing an acoustic album as he had alluded to in the years prior, but the band had wanted to return from their inactivity with an album with an electric sound closer to their original album first, then proceed with the acoustic material. Recent comments have confirmed working on recording acoustic material. In August 2010, they released a new acoustic version of "Clean the Slate", different from the version available on their Myspace in 2007. It was originally in contention for the acoustic album, but was ultimately left off. Murray confirmed again that the album was still coming out, and was due out sometime in Spring 2011, and that there'd be a holiday preview of a song off the album with a "Yule Log" video, much like how they had done previously on New Year's Eve 2009. One new song, "Sweet Silence", was debuted in this fashion. On July 31, Murray announced that the album would be titled '' Bittersweet'', and would actually be released under the

The album contains a new version of the song "Wheels", a song Lo-Pro had demoed for their self-titled album in 2002. On December 21, Murray posted the yearly Yule Log, revealing a new song entitled "Ammunition".

''Disintegration Effect'' (2012–2013)

In early 2012, Murray confirmed that the band had started the process of putting together their third studio album, but said that, unlike prior releases, they wouldn't be leaking or streaming tracks beforehand because it sounded "different". Murray also confirmed that the band would continue to record their more acoustic/electronic material under the "Life on Planet 9" moniker, concurrently with the third Lo-Pro album, and released a new track for it titled "What Would You Say". Despite both moving concurrently, the band's primary focus would be releasing the third album under the "Lo-Pro" name. By the end of the year, the band has completed eight songs for the album and were aiming for an early 2013 release. In December 2012, Murray narrowed it down further, stating that the band was aiming for a February 2013 release date. A ninth track was completed in January 2013. By early February, Murray stated that the band had started the mixing process, and that the album release would likely fall into March 2013. He also announced that a Life on Planet 9 album would be released after the album. On April 22, 2013, Murray announced that the title of the third album would be '' Disintegration Effect'', which was released on May 14, 2013.

Side-projects and other releases (2014–present)

After the release of ''Disintegration Effect'', Murray joined a new band, called
