"Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia" was released in June 2000 by record label Capitol. It is considered their breakthrough album due to the success of the album's second single "Bohemian Like You", released in August, which reached number 5 in the UK, despite the album only reaching number 182 in the US "Billboard" 200. It reached number 32 in the UK Albums Chart. A special edition of the album, titled "Seven Tales for Urban Australia", was released at the band's Australian tour, containing a bonus disc of seven extra tracks.
