The CD's packaging features photographs taken by Sharp in Barcelona. La Rambla appears on the CD sleeve and images of Montjuïc and El Raval in the booklet and cover. When asked about the album's title in an interview, Sharp commented "The title means a bunch of different things to different people. It especially means something that is really close to me. But in general it's the amount of time on a snooze for an alarm. When you don't want to leave a certain place you just keep hitting the snooze button over and over.

The album was delayed several times due to label demand to tweak it repeatedly, in addition to Sharp's multiple revisions. The record failed to make much chart noise, and the band was derailed for years in its wake. | The album was delayed several times due to label demand to tweak it repeatedly, in addition to Sharp's multiple revisions.
