Soon after the album's release, Clapp's high school friend Larry Winther reappeared after touring with garage-rock phenomenon The Mummies for four years.

The group signed with Chicago-based Minty Fresh Records in late 1996, but the label wanted the band to finish the album with a different producer.

Allen Clapp and his associates traveled to Minneapolis during the winter season to finalize the album under the supervision of producer-engineer Bryan Hanna.

In the studio, they performed numerous tracks live, reinvigorating the group and creating a new identity separate from Allen Clapp and his Orchestra.

Consequently, the group formally adopted the name "The Orange Peels" in the initial months of 1997, and their first album, Square, was launched in the late summer of the same year.

San Francisco multi-instrumentalist John Moremen was asked to join, and the group continued playing live and recording until Winther left.

During this time, the band's headquarters moved from Redwood City to Sunnyvale, where Clapp and Pries had purchased an Eichler home.

[7] The band performed west coast shows with the B-52s, The Ocean Blue, Ivy, the Apples in stereo, and ABC during this period.

This version of the group wrapped production on its fourth album, 2020, in its Sunnyvale, California studio with guest appearances by Winther, Vickers, as well as John Moremen.

Surviving the crash with no serious injuries, the two decided to fulfill a decade-long dream by relocating from Silicon Valley to the Santa Cruz Mountains.

[citation needed] After moving to a hexagonal house in Boulder Creek, California, in spring of 2014, the group reunited in the mountains to finish overdubs and mix the album.

Begin the Begone continues in the compositional style of Sun Moon, where collaboration was key, but diverges in atmospherics, which play an important role in the sound of the album.

All of the material was released on a double album with Bryan Hanna mixing, and Dave Gardner (Infrasonic Sound) mastering.

[12][11] Fans also funded a re-issue of the band's debut album, "Square" in 2019, which was pressed to vinyl for the first time, and included 2 CDs of outtakes, alternate mixes, and demos.
