This was Dupieux's last release for F Communications, which infamously referred to it as "unlistenable" due to its extensive use of unusual time signatures and dissonant samples.[3] His next two albums were released on the French label Ed Banger Records. The album was re-released by the American label Brainfeeder in 2011 on limited-edition vinyl.
The album's only single, "Stunt", did not chart.
