Shumaker founded Dopamine as a cassette-only indie label in 1995 and merged with Maniatis' label Amalagate Records in 2000.

In April 2006, Nate Shumaker and Josh Megyesy left the label to pursue other interests, allowing Alexander Maniatis to take the label into a new era of growth. He assembled an able and energetic team to carry out a vision for continuing to put out superb music in keeping with Dopamine Record's truly independent style.

This new album is the follow-up to their debut ep entitled, ''You are the Conductor'', which received worldwide attention.
