about

Tracks 1-15 come from "I Heard The Angels Sing" CDR. Originally released in May of 2003 on Ypsilanti Records in an edition of between 60-100 CDRs. This release was sold almost entirely at shows and at Ann Arbor record stores around the time of it's release.

Tracks 16-22 were recorded around the same, but left off the album for whatever reason. "Like An Accident", "Daniel In The Lions Den" and "Hounds" were never released, but the other four songs were released on a self-titled cassette on Don't Be So Stubborn Tapes & Zines, also in the spring of 2003.

Tracks 23-28 were released as a tour EP in 2002 for a short East Coast tour that Juan and I went on that summer. There were less than 70 copies made and most of what we didn't sell or give away on tour probably got lost or damaged.

All songs remastered for bandcamp release in 2017.

Addictive Garage Pop/Rock. Sad and happy, jangly guitars, changing and lovely vocals, short and very diverse songs in this album. Got hooked on this band instantly. Check it out if you like Guided by Voices, Flying Nun, The Feelies, Beat Happening... Diego A. Torres
