Two songs from the album were previously released: "There's a Place" in 2001 on the airwaves of Danish national radio, and "40 Days" on Carpark North's 40 Days EP.

The album was used as a soundtrack for the Danish teen-horror hit movie "Midsommer". The first single from the album, "Transparent & Glasslike" was an instant hit on the radio, and the album sold 10,000 units the first week.[2] Over the following months the debut was certified platinum in Denmark,[3] and the following Danish tour was sold out.

In 2005, the song "Homeland" was used in the hit American TV series Alias.[2]
