It was originally self-released in 2008 and re-released on Polyvinyl Records in 2009. The album showcases the band's signature sound, characterized by catchy synth-pop melodies, danceable rhythms, and often introspective or melancholic lyrics.
The album's tracklist includes popular songs such as "Rawnald Gregory Erickson the Second," "German Love," and "My Moves." These songs, and the album as a whole, helped establish Starfucker's initial fanbase and contributed to their growing recognition within the indie music scene.
