In an interview in 2007 on the Food Is Not Love podcast, she said that the song "February" from "Mortal City" is one of her songs that she likes best. She referred to the way the song "kept on evolving into, not only what I wanted to say, but what I wanted to say and didn't even know was in there." She liked the way the song "kept on breaking its own rules in a way that art is all about."
