Vinyl LP pressing of this 2009 release. Jam Tarts In The Jake utilizes smart and direct Pop structures to drive the menacing, old-school Country twang of the songs. Known for being over-the-top, the ironic simplicity employed on tracks like "Slay The Heart Of The Earth" showcase the band"s conviction. Just as in their live show, no one breaks character. The raw material for the record was written late at night and early in the morning, with a threepenny orchestra"s worth of instruments to help the process along. The result sounds antique, without sounding antiquated.
