The album was initially released on Babel Label and re-issued by The Leaf Label in 2014.[3]
Reception
The Guardian write that this album "captures (Polar Bear's) unique virtues" and that it "goes straight on to the albums-of-2004 longlist".[4] The BBC call Dim Lit "a finely crafted album" in their review of the follow-up album.[5]
