Background

On the making of the album, Holmström states:

I started coming up with some of the songs back in '97; I just never found the right place for them [...] Some of them didn't work with the band's views and other ones, I started another band to try to do the songs and that didn't work out. So I just ended up doing them on my own, which is something I needed to do as I was growing as a musician and a songwriter.[1]

The album received mixed-to-favorable reviews. Consequence of Sound called the album "a very mellow, bizarre and sure-to-be-discussed fall album", writing that "their weird brand of indie will certainly strike a chord with the crowd that has been building up decade after decade".[3] AllMusic's review was favorable, writing that it "brings back the druggy joys of the younger Dandys [The Dandy Warhols] circa Dandys Rule OK? and Come Down".[2]

gollark: Ah yes, right, that too.
gollark: I suppose I can see how indiscriminately ruining nearby things might be a bit of a problem, but it might be situationally useful.
gollark: In place of actual weaponry.
gollark: If that was as effective as actual weapons ships could just have those.
gollark: Yeees, but not as much as a dedicated combat ship.
