Background

The album was the first album release on the revived Polydor imprint Fiction Records.

Canadian and Australian releases did not feature "Happy Ever After". The North American edition of Solarized contains an exclusive U.S. bonus track called "Lovebug".

The song "Happy Ever After" was used in an episode of Top Gear during the review of the 2007 Jaguar XK. It has also been used in the series Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares and for the adverts of Law & Order: UK.

Unlike his previous, and subsequent albums, Solarized was not originally released on vinyl, but in April 2016, it was finally released on a limited run of 2000 vinyl copies as part of Record Store Day.[5]

gollark: It has gold ancestry, crazy inbreeding at some point, a few prizes, and who *knows* the ancestry beyond that?
gollark: I was just suggesting that I'd do that to make a really messy one.
gollark: I really like "messy" ones, like this >30G incredibly weird nonsensical Aeon.
gollark: This (https://dragcave.net/lineage/DLdkF) with a 2G xenowyrm, then?
gollark: You will have to wait until tomorrow (GMT), sorry.
