 Due to 4AD's reorganization and their finding distribution in the USA, the CD was not released in America until November.The sound of the album is very diverse, touching on all the many styles that HNIA had explored before, along with several new ones.In particular is a newly found interest in funk, soul and R&B, foreshadowing the next two HNIA albums on 4AD, where Pippen (a professional gospel and soul singer before joining HNIA) became the primary vocalist.
