Shortly after the release of So Wound, the band split up.

Critical reception

Ira Robbins, in Trouser Press, wrote: "Appreciably elevating the band’s skill and confidence levels from indie pop cuteness to real contention (while upholding the lyrical fortitude), the album is a taut, purposeful marvel of great pop songs in a number of cohesively connected modes."[6]
