Goodbye, Spaceblade is the second album by Sywnthkrawft. The process of making the album has been troublesome because the band couldn't find a producer to the album. Also it was during the first sessions the guitarist, Daniel Thyberg, left the group. The album was in planning as late as the late summer of 2006. Most of the album was recorded during some sessions in the autumn of 2006 and in the spring of 2007. Some piano versions of the songs from the album were recorded during a live event in Mora, Minnesota, USA and one of these songs were released on the first single from the album. Also as a result of the trip William got inspired to write three tracks featured on the album. The album release got postponed many times, but finally it was released in April 2007. Some songs from the album were performed live in November 2007 and were later released on the live-bootleg Tuxedo Junction.

On 8 March 2007, the first single from the album, "The Photographer's Exceptional Pictures for Body and Mind", debuted on #1 in the Swedish chart Dalatoppen. The next single "Mademoiselle Musicale" was supposed to be released in June 2007 but was later cancelled. During their summer vacation in 2007 William re-recorded all the songs on the album. These re-recordings will be for sale as the Goodbye, Spaceblade album instead of the old one.
