It was released on June 13, though I have yet to get it. This is the thread where we discuss it. Let the other 3 Handsome Family fans rise up!

I liked these guys for awhile, having Through the Trees , In The Air and Twilight but grew disappointed by a lack of development in their sound. Have they discovered Disco?

Was this one recorded on a Mac, too?

i've been listening to the new album and the only comment i can conjure is often sounds like other people. ?? anyone else? it's even randy newman-esque.

"Daniel Boone is shopping at Wal-Mart now. Instead of deer, he's looking for cheap shoes." That might be my favorite statement ever.

Rennie Sparks is perhaps the most underrated lyricist of this century.

two months pass...

this is quite excellent, it might be their best album to date. brett sparks sounds a lot like a less-annoying stephen merrit on this.

six months pass...

"All the Time in Airports" will just not leave my head. "Hunter Green" is pretty amazing as well.
