65daysofstatic produced "Retreat! Retreat!" themselves for The Fall of Math, the instrumental post-rock outfit's debut album, released through Monotreme on 20 September 2004, with Alan Smyth recording it and Feedle sharing the composing credit with the band.
A band without a singer still found a mouthpiece: Matt Dillon, sampled from the 1992 film Singles, vowing that the negative energy only makes him stronger and that his band will not retreat. Halfway through, the track swerves into an oddball 10/4 time signature, just to keep you guessing. It followed the album out as a single, a straight CD release with two B-sides, and Media Lounge produced its promo video.
