It was recorded in Iceland, mixed by the Grammy Award winning mixer, Michael Brauer[3] and has been a big success in Iceland upon release on 27 January 2014 by Key Music Management. A limited vinyl edition was also released. The initial single release "Peacemaker" has also charted in Iceland. In 2013, Deezer had announced that it was sponsoring the Icelandic band for an international launch.[3] Mono Town performed at the inaugural All Tomorrow's Parties in Iceland[4] and gained further international attention through being featured on the influential avant-garde American radio station KEXP.[2][5]
