2008, DFA Records
VINYL FORMAT. Mock & Toof were infamously discovered by DFA many years ago via an MP3 demo emailed to the website address (which later became their debut Death From Abroad single, "Brownbred"). On this release, the pair finally makes its proper DFA debut with the elastic dance pop single, "Underwater."
"Underwater" is a true breakthrough--a song so undeniably laid back and catchy, the duo came up with the term "cosmic sea shanty" to sum it up. With its undeniable Madchester / Beta Band delivery, DFA decided it was more of an E Shanty, especially the dub on the flipside, which blends warm keys, euphoric piano, and a killer bass line. "Underwater" is more unique magic from the Tiny Sticks men and a new page in their still-evolving career.
