At the end of 2020, it was announced via the Skyhill website that the band would be working on a new album. On October 30, 2020, the group released the single "Howling at the Moon" on YouTube, with an eventual release on streaming services in mid-November of the same year. In July 2018, Avidan stated that Skyhill may start new projects in the future, but that nothing was in the works as of then. On October 7, 2015, Avidan and Lennox returned to release the standalone single "Firefly", which was acclaimed for the band's "maturing in both lyrics and sound" over their previous album.
They toured New York in early 2008, before eventually separating due to lost passion. Again, Avidan acted as lead-singer and assistant lyricist, and the group released one full album titled Run With the Hunted, on May 16, 2007.
In the winter of 2006, Avidan teamed up with Peter Lennox to form a Brooklyn-based alternative rock duo named Skyhill. In mid-2005, the band split up Avidan attributes the separation to personality conflicts and creative differences between the band's members, as well as a collective inability to gain greater recognition and success. They released one self-titled EP and one live track recorded in early 2005, at World Cafe Live in Philadelphia. Avidan acted as the group's lead-singer, and wrote most of the band's lyrics, having recently moved to Philadelphia. In response to a Craigslist ad in late 2002, Avidan joined the indie rock band the Northern Hues, a Philadelphia-based ensemble composed of Aron Brand, Jeff Rains, Alex Yaker, Justin Earley, and Ian Creech.
