Earlier albums veered towards experimental, off-kilter psychedelia but by the end of the decade, the band had developed their own brand of serene, piano- based Americana with the acclaimed, best-selling LP \u003ci\u003eDeserter’s Songs \u003c\/i\u003e(1998).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAll is Dream\u003c\/i\u003e, the sequel to \u003ci\u003eDeserter’s Songs\u003c\/i\u003e, was originally released on V2 in 2001 in August (Europe) and September (North America) and boasted a more expansive, cinematic production than its predecessor (again courtesy of ex-member Dave Fridmann, by this time arguably the most in-demand producer in alternative US rock). The record was warmly received by critics and fans alike, enjoying higher chart positions than its predecessor (No. 11 UK, No. 17 US, Top 40 in Australia and in various European countries, etc.).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree singles were chosen from the album in the UK: \u003ci\u003eNite And Fog\u003c\/i\u003e, the classic opening track \u003ci\u003eThe Dark Is Rising\u003c\/i\u003e (No. 16 UK) and \u003ci\u003eLittle Rhymes.
