Production

The album was co-produced by American music producer Malay, who previously worked on the band's 2019 album Six60.

The album's title comes from the Dunedin Street where the band members lived during university.[1] The band began working on the album in Los Angeles, where they spent six months together. Band vocalist Matiu Walters felt that this time was a period of rejuvenation for the band, where they rediscovered the bonds they had created when originally living together as flatmates.[2]

Release

The album's first single "Before You Leave", inspired by the birth of lead vocalist Matiu Walters's daughter, was released on 19 August 2022.[2] This was followed by "Never Been Tonight" in September 2022, which featured the album track "Nobody Knows" as the single's B-side.[3]

To promote the album, a replica of their Castle Street house was constructed and displayed in Eden Park, Auckland.[1]

The band toured New Zealand during the summer between October 2022 and March 2023, with their annual Six60 Saturdays tour.[2] The band's previous summer tour was postponed due to the effects of COVID-19 in New Zealand.[2] New Zealand band Supergroove reformed to play as an opening act for the tour's Wellington and Auckland dates.[2] The band also toured Australia with The Castle St World Tour, held from December 2022 to February 2023.[4][5]
