Background

The songs on Magic Eight Ball's debut album span a larger period of time than their subsequent releases. The earliest of which are "Before It Was Murder" and "Local Girls" which date back to 1999 in their earliest forms, whereas songs like "Russian Ballet", "Monkey Bars" and "Something Better Has Come Along" were mostly written in the year or so leading up to going into the studio for the album. Between 2007 and 2011, half of the songs on 'Sorry We're Late...' were also recorded in their original versions for the band's first two EPs, "A Peacock's Tale" and "Mother Nature's Candy". It was during that time that Magic Eight Ball front man Baz Francis began working with Dave Draper. Baz felt Dave was the best producer to help create Magic Eight Ball's music. Before the recording process had wrapped up, Baz went on the road in Europe with Donnie Vie on The Magical History Tour, and Vie contributed to the song "Before It Was Murder " before heading back to the United States. The album's name was coined by Baz Francis.
The album was re-released on iTunes on 13 April 2016.
