This was still a "band" at this point and kept going until 2001 with one more album recorded in 1998 before Kozelek recorded solo and then started up Sun Kil Moon.  The legend had it that 4AD rejected the record for it's heavier sound and guitar soloing.  Unfortunately, the entity that took over, Supreme Recordings, went belly up...
