The band released a 7" vinyl single through Foresight Records, which contained the tracks "Watertown Plank" and "Mineral Point". Foresight was owned by a friend of theirs. The band then went on tour, performing in church halls and basements across the US. Texas Is the Reason guitarist Norman Brannon acquired copies of the group's demo and 7" single and gave them to Jade Tree co-founder Tim Own. Shortly afterwards, the band were signed to the independent label for a three-album contract. After further touring at the start of 1996, the "Falsetto Keeps Time" EP was released in February, and was followed by a split single with Texas Is the Reason in May. Both releases were successful, with the band continuing to tour and work on material that would feature on their debut album.
