Doppelgänger is the sophomore full-length album from Mukilteo, WA's The Fall of Troy, which followed up the band's bootlegged Ghostship demos from 2004 as well as their self-titled LP from 2003. Four of the songs ("I Just Got This Symphony Goin'," "F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X.," "Mouths Like Sidewinder Missiles," "Whacko Jacko Steals the Elephant Man's Bones") were re-recorded versions of tracks from the self-titled album. "Macaulay McCulkin" was taken from the Ghostship EP.

In live performances, Erak has been known to finish the song "The Hol[ ]y Tape" with instrumentation from Disney movie Aladdin's song, "A Whole New World".
The title "Laces Out, Dan!" is taken from a quote in the film Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.
"Tom Waits" was named as such because the popular folk singer Tom Waits has a song entitled "The Fall of Troy".
"F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X." is featured on MLB 2K6 and the Xbox 360 Saints Row soundtrack.
