The album around it circles devotion, delusion and the effort to be perfect for the people you love, and the pair pitched it as a record about getting hooked on romantic ideals. Its title came from a Leonard Cohen lyric, it was the first Tegan and Sara album to include a song the two wrote together rather than apart, and it made the shortlist for the 2010 Polaris Music Prize.
