Controversy
Louis XIV faced controversy for the album art of The Best Little Secrets Are Kept because it featured a naked woman from behind, from the middle of the buttocks up. This album art led to The Best Little Secrets Are Kept being the first album ever to receive a parental advisory warning for content on the album cover. An alternate, "edited" CD was released, without any sign of a naked butt. The Best Little Secrets Are Kept is the first album (as Illegal Tender is an EP) by Louis XIV.

Another instance where the band was involved with controversy was their music being featured as the "lesbian theme" on the Fox television show the O.C. According to producer Josh Shwartz, the writers felt the band's music was a perfect way to frame the relationship of Alex and Marissa in any instance where they were seen kissing each other (taken from the DVD commentary of the episode "Rainy Day Women", Season 2). The O.C. is an American television comedy-drama program broadcast on the Fox Network in the US and on various networks around the world. ...
After that they were home free and released their album.
