Style

Musically, it follows the same electronic/post-rock course as We Were Exploding Anyway. Closing track Guitar Cascades has similarities to the closing track on We Were Exploding Anyway, Tiger Girl. The Japanese version contains 3 bonus tracks, including an instrumental version of WWEA track Come To Me, an alternate version of The Wrong Shape and a new, more epic-sounding track, String Loop. The Track PX3 was given away as a free download, prior to release, on the 65daysofstatic website.

The album debuted at number 9 in the UK independent albums chart.
