Cultural references

 * The album as a whole and several songs were inspired by the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. "Oh Hello", "In Fear and Faith", and "Meet Me in Montauk" all reference lines from the film. "Wish Resign" refers to a line from the Alexander Pope poem Eloisa to Abelard, for which the movie was named.
 * "The Glorious Nosebleed" is a short story by Edward Gorey.
 * "Stop the Fuckin' Car" may be a reference to the film Harlem Nights.
 * The hidden track "House of Leaves" is named after and references the book House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. After "Meet Me in Montauk" ends there is roughly five and a half minutes of silence before the hidden track begins. This may be a reference to the 5&½ Minute Hallway, a fictional film in Danielewski's book. The song may be from the perspective of the main character in the novel, Johnny Truant.
