"Universes" is the second album from Birds of Tokyo, independently released on July 5, 2008 through MGM Distribution. The album was recorded at Loop Studios in West Perth, Wing Command in Perth, Western Australia and in "a big beautiful wooden house by the sea" at Injidup (Yallingup, Western Australia).

Mixing for the album took place in North Hollywood, California by Tim Palmer at Ameraycan Studios. During this mixing process the band filmed the music videos for "Broken Bones" and "Silhouettic" in Lancaster, California. These two music videos join together to form one complete story. However, the video for "Silhouettic", which features the second part of the story, was released first on the bands official website and their official Myspace page.

The debut single from the album, "Silhouettic", was released as a free download from the bands official website on April 14, 2008.

The album was nominated for a J Award in August, 2008. [cite web |url=http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/jawards/birds_of_tokyo_universes.htm|title=2008 J Award Nominations |publisher=Triple J |accessdate=2008-09-01]
