The album's cover featured a Xerox collage portrait of George W.

After signing to Too Pure, the group re-released Three Fingers and toured the UK and US again. Tours in Europe and Australia followed before releasing their most recent effort, The Invisible Deck, in 2006.
The group disbanded in 2007.
Furtado went on to record and tour with several bands including Brooklyn bands Midnight Masses and Shock Cinema as well as instrumental post-rock quartet, Vivid Low Sky.
