An eclectic, jubilant set of songs that has already gained strong acclaim from the press & their peers. A set of matchless pop tunes that acknowledge Gotham inspirations like Lou Reed, Bob Dylan & Philip Glass while also owing a debt to 90's luminaries including GBV & Pavement. The band spent '06 and early '07 touring with Clap Your Hand Say Yeah and Architecture In Helsinki. EJRC version includes three-track Talk Faster EP with the self-released reissue.
