Vitalis followed in early 2000, heavily showcasing Baruth's complicated beats and the band's overall dense, atmospheric sound.

Despite the hints of a new direction, the album couldn't have prepared fans for the two Low Level Owl albums released in 2001. Complex, delicate, and highly experimental, these two records took a cue from Radiohead's Kid A and sent the band careening into space rock and electronica with only traces of emo poking through. The records weren't nearly as commercially accepted, but their overall bravery showed that the band was prepared to make stylistic leaps. June Miller is cinematographic dream state, soundtrack of landscapes that have no name. It is dense sound, yet rarefied - meteorology of consciousness, often cumulonimbus of rain and rage, sometimes a white stain stretched and floating the blue. Verse Metrics is a Glasgowbased alternative band. Stereo, 20 – 28 Renfield Lane, Glasgow.
