It was Quicksand's last studio album before their initial breakup, leading to a 22-year gap in output until the release of Interiors, in 2017. In the meantime, a follow-up album was conceptualized during their brief 1997–1999 reunion, but it never materialized.

A vinyl version of the album was released in early 2013 by Shop Radio Cast. It incorrectly lists "Landmine Spring" as the first song on the B-side on the cover, when the song is the last song pressed on the A-side.
