There will be a tour-only version of the album’s tenth anniversary edition. According to Rolling Stone, which reported “echoes of Depeche Mode, Aphex Twin, and Massive Attack, as well as strong R&B strands,” SPIN called it “a brutalist Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis,” and New Noise described “Fever Daydream” as “an incredibly diverse listen, where melodies and moods may carry over throughout the album but each song is its own distinct animal.” The Black Queen released the album in January 2016.” “Ice To Never,” “Secret Scream,” and “Maybe We Should” are the three singles that came from the album.
