Upon release in 2004, the singles "Take It Easy (Love Nothing)" from Digital Ash in a Digital Urn and "Lua" from the album I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning debuted in the top two slots on the Billboard Hot 100 Single Sales chart.[17]
The album was reissued by Dead Oceans alongside a six-track companion EP on November 11, 2022.[18]
After the chart success of the 2004 singles "Lua" and "Take It Easy (Love Nothing)", the band set off in 2005 on a two-part world tour to promote both I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning, and Digital Ash in a Digital Urn. The first half of the tour promoted the folk-influenced first album, and the latter half featured the more electronic second album.[19] Both records made it into the Top 20 of the Billboard album charts. The tour was captured on Motion Sickness, released later in the year.
The album features contributions from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Nick Zinner and the Postal Service's Jimmy Tamborello.
