Cocteau Twins disbanded in in 1997 whilst recording their ninth studio album. Since then, Fraser has been working with her partner Damon Reece, and recording music under the Sun's Signature moniker. They released their debut single "Golden Air" in 2022.

Fraser also worked with Oneohtrix Point Never on "Tales From The Trash Stratum", and Jónsi on his 2020 single "Cannibal" in recent years, and "Golden Air" marked her first new material as the lead artist in 13 years. A five-track EP was released on Record Store Day 2022.
