Since 2010 the band has begun taking a more collective based approach to their music making, working independently and jointly with other local musicians.

In 2005, the band performed in a film by Newcastle-based artists Susie Green and Ilana Mitchell entitled The Set Up, which featured a number of North East bands, seven artists including Field Music, Futureheads, Les Cox Sportifs and Paul Smith.

On 15 January 2007, the Sudden Moment of Clarity EP was chosen by Steve Lamacq as the record of the week on his BBC 6 Music radio show.

A further remix of the title track was created by The Cutler (featuring Steve Cobby of Fila Brazillia and Porky of Pork Recordings) around the same time.

On 29 May 2009, The Sudden Moment of Clarity remix by Industrial-U-Knit was released on the Ninja Tune Solid Steel podcast, chosen by DK.

The EP featured the original version of 'Cold Day' that had previously been remixed by Winter North Atlantic.

The title track 123 was remixed by Ross Godfrey of Morcheeba and subsequently new vocals were recorded by Nathalia Ivanovski with the band.

The release was also notable for the inclusion on the CD of films for two of the featured songs by artist friends of the band Matt Fleming of The Star and Shadow Cinema and Sam Wilson.

On 1 March 2010, the band released a compilation CD Life's Little Glitches, featuring most of the tracks from the preceding four EPs, through 'The Killing Moon Presents' label and also as a digital download via AWAL.

On 21 June 2010, the band released their first full-length album of mostly new material, along with a scattering of lead tracks from the previous EPs, through The Killing Moon Presents label as a digital download only via AWAL.

The album was entitled Garden Rooms in memory of one of the band's former rehearsal spaces in an old Sheffield workshop, one part of which was still inhabited by Stan Shaw, a Little Mester - the name given to local master craftsmen working in Sheffield Steel whom do piece work especially making cutlery.

Following another short tour in support of the release the band curated the Penelopes Stage on the Saturday at that year's Tramlines Festival, putting on a line-up including Neil McSweeney, Fallen Trees, Ray Heane with Bodhran player Ciaran Boyle, plus the band themselves.

Following that, the band retreated into the studio at the end of August 2010 and began to pro-actively collaborate with other local musicians and writers such as Lisa Palmer, who has previously worked with Animat, Laura Burn Acaster of Little Robots and The Shaking Whips, Bennett Holland who is currently (2011) also working with Toddla T, King King and Jube, Julie Clarkson, also of Jube, Kieron Wright The Shaking Whips and The Jesus Loves Heroin Band, Chuffy Stanley and many others.

Released 10 June 2013, Little Glitches are featured vocalists on the album "Everything Touches Everything Else" by The Cutler (Steel Tiger Records, 2013).
