The album was finished in 2005 when Hives producer Pelle Gunnerfeldt was brought in for additional production and mixes, Pelle bringing Per Nordmark on drums and Bjorn Ytlling [Peter Bjorn & John] on keyboards. The album was released by EMI Sweden May 25th 2005 in Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway. The band played their first live dates in Sweden in July 2005. In September the album was 'Album Of The Week' in influential British record store Rough Trade who described it as "...a fantastic album of ‘european cool’ with breathy vocals over music which sounds like The Concretes, Stereolab or a modern take on the Velvet Underground…" By 2008 the album was licensed worldwide via the bands new label Rushmore Recordings to fantastic critical acclaim earning a 'Disque Du Mois' from top french rock mag 'Rock & Folk' and rave reviews from Les Inrockuptibles, Magic, Rolling Stone and Figaro in France, Strangedays magazine Japan and Expresso in Portugal among others.

Vanessa was the guest vocalist on Scott Walker's album 'The Drift' in 2006. The O's contributed a track to the all star musical tribute to Ennio Morricone alongside Bruce Springsteen, Metallica, YoYoMa, Quincy Jones,Herbie Hancock, and the maestro himself. 'We All Love Ennio Morricone' features Vanessa & The O's gorgeous rendition of the Francoise Hardy classic 'Je Changerais d'Avis'

Vanessa and Andreas have written and recorded new songs through 2008/2009 for the second O's album, currently being mixed in Stockholm by Markus Jagerstdet and Pelle Gunnerfeldt.
