Low Level Owl Volume II is technically the Appleseed Cast's fourth album, though it was released just two months after Low Level Owl Volume I. The albums are inseparable in sound, mood and style, but the second volume is arguably more instrumental-based than the first volume, with high points such as "Sunset Drama King" and "The Argument" sending the band soaring into post-rock.

The albums met with a considerable degree of acclaim, but the band found themselves saddled with the term "America's closest answer to Radiohead",^[1] which does nothing for the inherent individuality of the Low Level Owl project.
