“Gravity” was released in June 2002.
The “Happiness Is Not A Fish That You Can Catch” singles were all well received by the charts, but did not get as much attention as the singles from “Clumsy”.

Mike Turner left the band on December 12th, 2001, just before they headed off to Hawaii to record their fifth album.

The band was formed by Raine Maida and Mike Turner.
The name of the band was taken from a 1943 poem by Mark Van Doren.
