The album incorporates rock, pop, and psychedelic music, as well as elements of found sound and field recordings, reflecting the group's origins as an experimental act.

When the recording was done, Harrison contacted Nashville musician and producer Brad Jones, and the two assembled the album from the various cassettes and ADATs the songs existed on.

Despite receiving highly positive reviews and being played on independent radio stations, listeners had difficulty finding the album in stores because Copper had only produced a limited amount of CD copies.

An electric version of "Spin My Wheels", recorded during the early sessions with Dave McNair, was included on a bonus track on the Japanese CD edition, also released in 1999.

During this period, artists such as Nicole Atkins and Britt Daniel of Spoon praised the album in interviews, and "Lily Dreams On" was used in the 2005 television series Veronica Mars.

In addition to the bonus disc, Harrison wrote an essay in the CD booklet detailing the creation and recording of the album, which included contributions from George Reiff, Dana Myzer, Dave McNair, Darin Murphy, Whit Williams, and Brad Jones.
