VINYL FORMAT. Insound Staff Pick - 2008! Their third studio album, following 2006's "Classics", which scanned over 50K in the US. The characteristic guitar style is still present here, but there are an abundance of new textures, from Wurlitzer and mellotron to live rather than programmed percussion. The album will be preceded by the release of the limited edition 7-inch "Shiller", a completely beatless track which opens the new album.
