Sessions for the album took place at band members' homes and at White's home studio, Stereo Mountain. It was released by Seattle's [Sub Pop](/source/Sub_Pop) records as SP 268, in LP, CD and cassette formats.

The album documents the romantic parting of White and [Julie Doiron](/source/Julie_Doiron), as well as White's issues with drug use.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xLIiOE_jCpAC&q=Forever+Again+eric%27s+trip+barclay&pg=PT330|title=Have Not Been the Same: The CanRock Renaissance, 1985-1995|first1=Michael|last1=Barclay|first2=Ian A.

The first few hundred copies of the vinyl LP ordered by mail-order included a bonus 7-inch EP with a comic book sleeve titled ''Notes From Stereo Mountain''.  The EP is one of the rarest items in the Eric's Trip catalog.

==Critical reception==
''[Trouser Press](/source/Trouser_Press)'' called the album better than the debut, writing that "the songwriting tightens some of the eighteen selections into shapely forms, most noticeably when acoustic lightness is the chosen timbre."<ref name=TP/>

==Awards==
The album was a [Juno Award](/source/Juno_Award) nominee for [Best Alternative Album](/source/Juno_Award_for_Alternative_Album_of_the_Year) at the [Juno Awards of 1995](/source/Juno_Awards_of_1995).
