Where this album fits

Career context
When 'Long Distance' was released in 2000, Ivy was transitioning from their earlier sound rooted in indie pop to a more polished alternative rock style. This third album followed their previous work, 'Apartment Life,' which showcased their signature melodic charm but lacked the mainstream reach that 'Long Distance' aimed to achieve.
