The album reclaims the more diverse and electronic sound of their early work, but differed from previous They Might Be Giants recordings in some ways. Factory Showroom was their first album to feature a second guitarist, Eric Schermerhorn. Factory Showroom is tied with The Else for the fewest tracks on any They Might Be Giants studio album.
Two years after Factory Showroom's release, John Flansburgh cited the album as his favorite by the duo. Feeling that Elektra Records did not do enough to promote the album, among other disputes, They Might Be Giants left the label after its release.
Factory Showroom was released on vinyl for the first time in March 2012 by Asbestos Records.
