The album was produced in part by The Dust Brothers, along with Pat Dillett and the band. The Else was first available for download through the iTunes Store on May 15, 2007. The CD version was released in stores on July 10, 2007, with initial runs accompanied by a full-length bonus disc of rare material, Cast Your Pod To The Wind.[10] On September 11, 2007, the band released a gatefold vinyl LP of the album. Cast Your Pod was made available separately on iTunes in July, 2009. A video, created by Mizushima Hine, for "With the Dark" was released on the band's YouTube page on June 7, 2007. Two more videos, for "The Shadow Government" and "I'm Impressed" were also later released. A full-length video for "The Mesopotamians" was released on Stereogum.com on October 2. "Careful What You Pack" was originally written for the soundtrack of 2009 film Coraline, but it was not ultimately used in the film.[11] Track listing{{Track listing| total_length = 38:12 | all_writing = They Might Be Giants except as noted | title1 = I'm Impressed | length1 = 2:39 | title2 = Take Out the Trash | length2 = 3:14 | title3 = Upside Down Frown | length3 = 2:17 | title4 = Climbing the Walls | length4 = 3:15 | title5 = Careful What You Pack | length5 = 2:40 | title6 = The Cap'm | length6 = 3:11 | title7 = With the Dark | length7 = 3:17 | title8 = The Shadow Government | length8 = 2:37 | title9 = Bee of the Bird of the Moth | length9 = 3:31 | title10 = Withered Hope | note10 = written by They Might Be Giants, Mike Simpson, John King | length10 = 2:54 | title11 = Contrecoup | length11 = 3:11 | title12 = Feign Amnesia | length12 = 2:29 | title13 = The Mesopotamians | length13 = 2:57 }}{{Track listing | collapsed = yes | headline = Japan release bonus tracks | total_length = | title14 = Brain Problem Situation | length14 = 2:55 | title15 = We Live in a Dump | length15 = 1:40 | title16 = I'm Your Boyfriend Now | length16 = 2:40 }} Cast Your Pod to the Wind (bonus disc){{Track listing| headline = | total_length = | title1 = Put Your Hand on the Computer | length1 = 1:57 | title2 = I'm Your Boyfriend Now | length2 = 2:40 | title3 = Why Did You Grow a Beard? | length3 = 1:08 | title4 = We Live in a Dump | length4 = 1:40 | title5 = Brain Problem Situation | length5 = 2:55 | title6 = Sketchy Galore | length6 = 2:21 | title7 = Microphone | length7 = 2:04 | title8 = Vestibule | length8 = 1:59 | title9 = Greasy Kid Stuff | length9 = 1:40 | title10 = Metal Detector (live) | length10 = 3:43 | title11 = Employee of the Month | length11 = 1:24 | title12 = Homunculus | length12 = 2:16 | title13 = No Plan B (live) | length13 = 1:40 | title14 = Morgan in the Morning | length14 = 1:07 | title15 = Kendra McCormick | length15 = 0:51 | title16 = Yeah, the Deranged Millionaire | length16 = 1:23 | title17 = My Other Phone Is a Boom Car | length17 = 0:27 | title18 = I Hear a New World | length18 = 2:09 | title19 = (She Was a) Hotel Detective in the Future | length19 = 2:05 | title20 = Haunted Floating Eye | length20 = 1:25 | title21 = Scott Bower | length21 = 1:23 | title22 = The Mexican Drill | length22 = 1:10 | title23 = Cast Your Pod to the Wind | length23 = 1:26 }} Personnel
