After Whatcha Doin', the band parted ways with White, returning to the studio in 2000 to record their sophomore album Free Electricity with Dion Fischer on lead guitar, John Olson (of Wolf Eyes) on saxophone, and Cary Loren (of Destroy All Monsters) on tamboura.
The Go received little promotion in the United States from Lizard King Records, parted ways with the label following the tour, and returned to Detroit with new guitarist James McConnell.
While in Detroit, The Go received word that Welsh singer Adele Nozedar had taken an interest in the band, securing funding for a new album.
The Go promoted the release with extensive American touring in support of Guided by Voices and were invited to perform at the Peace Jam Foundation Conference in Denver in 2008.
In 2010, Burger released an LP by The Go's alternate project, Conspiracy of Owls, which featured songwriters Harlow, Krautner, and Fellis, along with a live lineup of fellow Detroit musicians (Steve Nawara, Johnny Lzr, and "Magic" Jake Culkowski).
After supporting the Conspiracy of Owls record with shows at SXSW, Harlow and Culkowski formed a new band, Magic Jake & The Power Crystals, in which they shared songwriting duties.
