Lead single, "Bound by Hurt Dissolved", received radio play in late 2005, and later singles, "Measuring Tape" and "Sparrow", began to receive play in July to August 2006, closer to the album's appearance. Its title is a lyric from the fourth track, "A Room Full of People". The group effectively disbanded in December 2006, with an announcement of the hiatus on their website, "we've decided it's time to take a serious break. Effective immediately."[2]
