treatment, with its "deceptive slowness" and usage of minor keys. The contrasting instrumentation of whistles and keyboards dominate the track. It features an Irish reel atop a slow tango beat, with "general weird background effects." "Teuchstar" features poetry from Aiden McEoin and Morrison's percussive pipe playing, while Nielson's fiddle matches the pipe playing note for note. The fiddle-led "Skeabost Monsoon" is the first of two consecutive songs to feature The Veganites on vocals, and minimises the usage of bass while using the fiddle for "angst-ridden modernity." The album finishes in relaxing fashion with "A Tate of Rum", the most African-influenced track on the album. Release and reception Welcome to Dun Vegas was released on 28 July 2003 by Peatbog Faeries' own label Peatbog Records as the label's first release.

Several of the songs from the album have featured on various artist compilation albums; "Wacko King Hako" appears on Larry Kirwan's Celtic Invasion (2013), a compilation compiled by Irish musician Larry Kirwan featuring "a dozen of his favorite bands and most requested rock tracks from his SiriusXM show Celtic Crush," whilst "Teuchstar" appears on Beginner's Guide to Scotland (2006), a compilation of introductory songs to Scottish music released by record label Nascente. On the band's live album, Live (2009), which was compiled from two of the band's 2008 concerts, "Wacko King Hako" appears as the fifth track. The African influence that the band took on Dun Vegas, mostly notably in the track "A Taste of Rum," would later be explored furthermore with "Room
