The follow-up to 2003"s masterpiece, Let Go, is a perfect pop album sure to alleviate the growing breathless anticipation among long-term fans and recent converts. It carries on the contemplative tone that characterized much of Let Go with tracks of heartrending beauty, introspection, wit, and often deceptively dark lyrics, while also displaying the band"s penchant for pure pop melody. Produced by Chris Walla (Death Cab For Cutie, The Decemberists, The Thermals). Barsuk. 2005.
