As of September 2013, the band has been on hiatus, according to the band's Facebook page. In the fall of 2018, Elijah Jones announced that the band would release "Dreams of Oneonta" as the lead single for ''King of the Gutter'', their first album in nearly six years. "Dreams of Oneonta" was released October 8, 2018. While ''King of the Gutter'' was recorded in 2014, Jones' problem with addiction prevented them from finishing the album. Dixon contacted Jones in early 2018 about revisiting the material and together they produced and mixed the original recordings. Of the songs, Jones said, "I was basically writing about my downfall, the prelude to a complete mental breakdown. I was basically documenting t I didn't realize it at the time, but that's what I was writing about." ''King of the Gutter'' was released on January 10, 2019 after being announced the previous day in a Facebook post.
