Since being released by Jagjaguwar on February 19, 2008, The album has garnered critical acclaim and has been released on numerous other labels in Europe and the U.S. Vernon has said that he will continue to make albums without engineers and producers because he is capable of doing it all himself.

Vernon will also be playing at the Bonner Springs Festival in Wisconsin on February 16 and 17, 2016, as a special performance for the 50th anniversary of the release of Bonn’s first album. The first significant attention the album received was from My Old Kentucky Blog in June 2007, after which point \”it snowballed,\” according to Vernon’s manager Kyle Frenette. Vernon played all the instruments during recording and each song was heavily edited with a large number of overdubs. Vernon wrote the lyrics for the album by recording a word-less melody and listening to the recording over and over while writing words according to the sound of the syllables of the melody. Vernon did not intend to write or record any music during the time but rather to recuperate from the events of the previous year. He spent the oncoming winter months at his father’s cabin in Dunn County, Wisconsin. Vernon decided to release the songs himself in their present state. According to Vernon, it was during this time that the moniker first entered his mind; while bedridden with mononucleosis.
