In 2003, the band retreated to the Linford Manor recording studio in Great Linford, Milton Keynes, England, to record the follow-up to "Blackened Sky". On 24 March, a new single was released called "The Ideal Height", followed by a further new single "Questions and Answers" on 26 May. The band's second album, "The Vertigo of Bliss" was released on 16 June, to positive reviews which focused on the more experimental style of the album in comparison to "Blackened Sky", as well as the introduction of string sections.
