Trivia

• The album art is once again the work of Esao Andrews, who illustrated the covers of The Inuit Sessions, Juturna and Blue Sky Noise.^[2]
• On May 14, 2007, the band decided to post the lyrics to the then upcoming album on their website, one song a day, starting with the opener "Living Together."^[3]
• The album has so far spawned two B-Sides, both sold digitally for separate charitable causes: "The Most Dangerous Commercials" and "1000 Witnesses."
• The song "Mandala" references William Blake's poem "The Tyger," borrowing the lyrics: "Did he who made the lamb make thee?"^[4]
