The record was well-received by the Iranian-American community as well as American critics for its unifying and original concept, eventually leading The Believer magazine to pick up the song for their 2008 Music Issue.
Sholi has recently toured with Iron and Wine, Marnie Stern, and The Dead Science.
They will be touring the US and Europe extensively in 2009 following the release of their debut LP.
