In December 2010, in an interview with Deadly Vibe Magazine, Thomas Busby said "Most of our songs were written about home, or memories or places that we love and it's all really laidback, folky pop sort of tunes.

So we went back home and it was the best move, it was so relaxed, we were there for a couple of weeks, we already had the songs nutted out so we were just laying tracks down, laying the vocals down, and Jeremy with the guitar and bass work – so great process and great fun, and we got to stay at home as well and catch up with family while we were there.

In 2009, Busby Marou was one of five successful applicants for 'Breakthrough' – A Federal Government initiative supporting emerging indigenous contemporary musicians.

It uses elements we know but don't hear enough of these days; simple but beautiful harmonies, the driving force of an acoustic guitar, and honest lyrics that paint moving stories."
