The debut from the New York five-piece arrived like a disco ball dropped from space, packed with hits that have lost none of their queer, anarchic energy.
- The album was a massive commercial success, reaching number one on the UK Albums Chart and number two on the US Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums chart. It spawned the hit singles "Comfortably Numb", "Laura", and the UK number-one hit "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'". The album was reissued in 2005 with bonus tracks and a remix.
- The album was produced by the band themselves, with additional production by Steve Osborne and Andy Butler. It was recorded in various studios in New York and London. The album received generally positive reviews, with critics praising its catchy melodies, vibrant production, and the band's unique style.
- The album's title is a reference to a lesbian sexual position, a nod to the band's queer themes and camp aesthetic. The cover art, featuring the band members in drag, further emphasized their bold visual identity.
