Trivia

• The band chose the name Effloresce at random from a dictionary. Original titles for the album included Career and Mine Host, the latter of which is the name of a song on the band's next full-length album, Everyone Into Position.[5]
• The title of "Massive Bereavement" is a reference to The Day Today, where it is the name of a horse.
• The piano line playing on Track 9, "Unravel," is an excerpt of the second piece, Le Gibet, from Maurice Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit.
• The title of "Women Who Love Men Who Love Drugs" was coined by bassist Jon Ellis, who saw the headline of the same name on the front of Cosmopolitan Magazine.[6]
