In 1999, the band released "As One Aflame Laid Bare by Desire", with Oscar Herrera singing two songs on the album as a parting favor to Rosenthal. The album owes some artistic inspiration to Marcel Duchamp. Towns returned for female vocals and also provided guitar arrangements. After a 15 city tour in July 1998 in preparation for the album's release, she was ejected from the band. Elysabeth Grant joined the band as violist, but Rosenthal quickly discovered her vocal talents. Grant was the singer for a 14 city tour of the album in February 1999, also featuring Lisa Feuer on flute and backing vocals.
