The album was initially released as a double album, alongside the band's third studio album, Songs About Death & Dying Vol. 3, but was later released independently on KimoSciotic Records in 2008.

Reception

In a positive review for Allmusic, Alex Henderson wrote of the album's initial release as a double album with Songs About Death & Dying Vol. 3: "3 and 4 has more ups than downs, and Narnack Records deserves credit for documenting more than one side of Dwyer's artistry."^[1]
