"Weightless" will be released in North America on November 8, in mainland Europe on November 4 and in the U.K. on November 7 via Prosthetic Records.

There are also two exclusive T-shirts and a zip-up hooded sweatshirt, with a limited-edition screen print offered for those who purchase the "deluxe" bundle (both shirts and either an LP or CD).
