Two tracks from the EP were also released as a 7" vinyl single in the UK through The Passport Label, and the band played a handful of London shows in November 2005. Whilst in the USA, they recorded their second album in Chicago with producer Bob Weston. Titled Mosaic; this album was their first on label Matador Records.
