It was released on September 14, 2004 on the Arts & Crafts International record label in Canada and the United Kingdom, and on March 8, 2005 in the United States. The album’s most notable single was “Ageless Beauty”, the band’s breakthrough hit in Canada. “Your Ex-Lover Is Dead” has also garnered significant play in the United States. It was featured on the soundtrack of The O.C. On November 17, 2009, “Your Ex-Lover Is Dead” was featured on Fox network’s So You Think You Can Dance, season 6. Former show contestant and current choreographer Travis Wall chose it as the track for his piece danced by Ellenore Scott and Ryan Di Lello.
