In the US, the album peaked at number 54, while lead single "A Dream Goes On Forever" reached number 69.

Errata Anex is the second extended play (EP) by American electronic music band Neon Indian. It was released digitally on April 9, 2013, by Mom + Pop Music. The EP consists of remixes of tracks from the band's second studio album, Era Extraña (2011). The EP's title is an anagram of Era Extraña. The band's frontman, Alan Palomo, said of the EP:
These remixes are a small collection found along the way of my year on the road while we were touring Era Extraña. The artists were chosen by whatever most consistently blared out of my headphones that fall and what I was most giddy to hear an amalgamation of from the songs I was playing live, and the artists I'd listen to later that night. If imitation is the highest form of flattery, then total re-imagination from song scraps must be something far more warm, mutant, and mutual. I hope you enjoy them.

Vega Intl. Night School is the third album by American electronic music band Neon Indian. It was released on October 16, 2015, by Mom + Pop Music.

Noticing that ideas from both Neon Indian and Vega were merging, Palomo decided to combine the two projects into one and retire the use of the Vega moniker.
