[3] After years of being out of print, it was re-released by frontwoman Melora Creager on her own label, Filthy Bonnet Recording co., on CD [4][5] and, for the first time, vinyl in 2011.

[10] Conceptualized as "a haunting anxiety dream where our heroines must fulfill impossible tasks," in the video, Creager cries sitting among dozens of teacups and kisses a taxidermy goat, Julia Kent pins corsets to an infinite clothesline, and the band plays cello on a wooden stage in a forest near a German-fairy-tale-style cabin.

On October 15, 1998, the band appeared as the musical guest on Late Night with Conan O'Brien to promote the album, performing the song "LeechWife".

[12][13] Tim Sheridan of AllMusic commented "This band deals in what can only be called chamber-goth: a grungey cello-driven rock that is perfect for those nights when you just want to feel creepy.

"[14] In a review for CMJ, Kurt Reighley commented, "Rasputina shoehorns the distinctive sonorous properties of its instruments, plus Creager’s lyrical fetishes (including, but hardly limited to, death, madness and exorcism), into pop song formats with all the grace of a linebacker squeezing into his first pair of stiletto heels.
