Andrew Whiteman, the band's frontman and lead guitarist of Broken Social Scene, admires world music, and influences upon this album have included Cuban-style guitars and Spanish lyrics.
"There is a specific story to the album, to me," Whiteman says. "There's a specific geography, which is under the rubric of the dockside. And there is a story. I wouldn't want to tell anyone the story, in case they've written their own. But it involves the supernatural, and various revolutionary statements."
In January 2007, the band launched a contest inviting fans to cover or remix the first track, "My Sword Hand's Anger".
"My Sword Hand's Anger" reached No. 1 on CBC Radio 3's R3-30 chart the week of March 8, 2007.
