“Everything was so tongue-in-cheek in the indie world of the ’90s,” Mercer said of the album in a statement around the tour’s announcement. “I remember feeling a longing for some sort of romance in music again, something earnest, like a real attempt at some emotional language.”
Oh, Inverted World was previously remastered and rereleased in 2021 for its 20th anniversary. The reissue featured a remastered version of the original album, plus a new booklet filled with vintage photos, liner notes, handwritten lyrics, and more.
The band released a new single, “The Great Divide,” in 2020. Their last full-length album, Heartworms, arrived in 2017.
