Prior to Audrye Sessions, the band was signed with an independent label and released the album Braille.

[3] According to lead singer Karazija, inspiration for "Turn Me Off" came after watching a television special hosted by James Gandolfini about war veterans who came back injured badly.

[5] Although they did not do so extensively, Audrye Sessions supported the release of the EP with a tour,[6] and performed at the CMJ Music Marathon in 2008.

[8] In 2008, Black Seal released the music video for "Turn Me Off",[6] directed by Sean Desmond.

Reviews from Aversion were not favorable, saying the EP was "marginally boring and certainly (an) unsavory sector of modern-day indie rock",[10] and that the band provided better music live than recorded.
