End of the Day (Music From the Film Anonymous Club) will be the final record that Barnett releases through Milk! Records. Barnett and Jen Cloher founded the record company in 2012. In an official statement through Twitter, Barnett said, “End of the Day will be the final release of @milk_records. It has been one of the great honours of my life to be a part of this incredible community and to work alongside so many amazing artists. Thank you to every single person involved XO.”

Barnett recently discussed the creation of Milk! Records with Guardian, saying,  “Somebody referred to me as creative director and Jen as label manager. It was so DIY … We were just trying to get things done. And making it up as we went.”

Barnett further opened up to the outlet regarding the end of Milk! Records, adding, “A year ago or maybe even six months ago, thinking about [closing it] would’ve been so impossible and so difficult and I would’ve resisted. One day I literally just woke up and my mind had changed.”
