Frogpond's second album released by Columbia on their C2 imprint on the first of June 1999. Featuring a different lineup than their debut, Count to Ten, it shows a maturation of the returning members as well as stronger songwriting by Heidi Phillips. The songs tend to be split rather evenly between darker, slower songs and tight, catchy indie pop-rock numbers loaded with hooks. It brought them a wider fan base due to the strength of the single "I Did" with it's catchy opening bass line and a large amount of local airplay throughout Kansas. In many ways it was also seen as the band's first touch of success and was backed by a rather large tour resulting in pockets of local support for the band.
