2014 saw Birdeatsbaby once again in the studio, recording The Bullet Within. Forbes Coleman, who had previously worked on Fitzgerald's 2013 solo album Present Company, had now joined the band full-time as percussionist, technical resource and producer, and Hana Maria had replaced Tessa Gilles on violin and backing vocals. The Kickstarter campaign all-or-nothing amount was set at £10,000; the final total brought in was just over £11,000. It was widely supported by their devoted fan base (known as "The Flock"). Melora Creager from Rasputina recorded cello on the track "Into The Black". Gabby Young (formerly of Other Animals) sang on the track "Spiders", and also appeared in the music video for the song, which was directed by former Birdeatsbaby drummer Philippa Bloomfield. The album was released on Jul 14, 2014. Steven Gullotta of BrutalResonance.com called it "dark, gorgeous, and mature," and, "their best album to date." Much of 2014 was spent on tour in support of the Bullet record; in April the band toured in Denmark with Geoff Berner. In October, the track "Tenterhooks" was included on R2 Magazine's compilation CD, Un-Herd Volume 47.
