The Sun Comes Out Tonight is the sixth studio album by American industrial rock band Filter. Originally announced as Gurney and the Burning Books and intended for independent release in mid-2012, the band would later sign to major record label Wind-up Records, leading to them to delay and rename the release. The album was released on June 4, 2013, with the first single, "What Do You Say" being released on May 7, 2013.
Frontman and lead singer Richard Patrick first discussed working on a new music as early as 2011, when he referred to plans of a two album project. He originally envisioned having the first album, Gurney be stylistically be "the follow-up to Short Bus", being "angry" and "unrefined", and the second album afterwards, Burning the Books, would be next "natural progression" of a Filter album. By early 2012, the plans had consolidated into a single album of similar ideals, combining the sound of Short Bus, with the variety and progression of their second album, Title of Record. Patrick's plan included avoiding signing to a major record label, in favor of releasing it independently, by mid-2012, under the title of Gurney and the Burning Books.
Patrick started work on writing the album in early 2012, with guitarist Jonathan Radtke (previously of Kill Hannah), who had joined Filter in 2011 as the touring guitarist to support their prior album The Trouble with Angels. As of March 2012, seven of the album's songs had been written, including the track "Take That Knife Out of My Back", which Patrick stated is very similar to "Hey Man, Nice Shot". Patrick and Radke entered the studio to start recording the album in April 2012.Bob Marlette, who worked with Patrick on The Trouble with Angels, also returned as a producer. However, Patrick announced that past members, drummer Mike Fineo and bassist Phil Buckman, would not be working with the band on this album, stating "It was time for a change for us. Filter is not a band, it’s a project.”
