Background and recording
Tensions rose among the band during recording, and after recording was completed, the band split up. Simpson and Gomez formed The Gloria Record, while McCarver and Wiley formed Imbroco.[citation needed]
Music
The album was noted for its overall softer and quieter sound in comparison to the band's former album, The Power of Failing, which featured much louder and more energetic pieces.[citation needed] AllMusic said the album's sound was "nearly identical" to The Power of Failing.[6]
Reception and legacy
Blake Butler of AllMusic gave the album two and a half stars out of five. He wrote: "[EndSerenading] gives Mineral's rather large fan following something to remember them by -- although it somehow seems that the memory would have been more precious without this release. This is easily a disappointment; nevertheless, many who loved Mineral will not be able to help themselves from falling for this last release, and it will probably bring them quite a few more admirers who never paid attention before."[6]
In 2017, Mineral accused rapper Gab3 and Lil Peep of plagiarism over an unlicensed and uncredited sample of the track "LoveLetterTypewriter" on their track "Hollywood Dreaming". Gab3 stated that the sample was meant to honor Mineral's work.[7]
