The album was Dupieux's last release for F Communications, as Laurent Garnier strongly disliked the album and referred to it as "unlistenable". The album is characterized by uncommon time signatures, dissonant tones and unusual samples.[3] He subsequently signed to the French label Ed Banger Records. The album was re-released by the American label Brainfeeder in 2011 on limited-edition vinyl.
Influence
Justice member Xavier de Rosnay cited Moustache as an influence on the duo's music, stating: “This is total laptop music, and they were the first records exploring what you can really do with digital means”.[4]
