During the week of February 14–18, lead singer Furstenfeld did a stint as a guest DJ on Austin’s KROX-FM radio station. Furstenfeld previewed four new tracks on the air, presumably on the new album, titled “The Chills”, “The Waiting, “The Getting Over It Part” and “The Flight (Lincoln to Minneapolis)”. On April 3, 2011, Furstenfeld announced the album would be distributed by RED Music , a Sony Music imprint for independent artists. Their former label, Universal Motown Records , offered them a 360 deal (which the band rejected). The band opted to become independent instead, and formed their own label called Up/Down Records. On May 4, 2011, Blue October played the first full song of the new album live, called “The Feel Again”. On May 6, 2011, Blue October played a second song in St. Louis , Missouri from their upcoming album “The Follow Through”. Furstenfeld performed a duet with Patricia Lynn from the band The Soldier Thread for the song.
