I discovered them just after they broke up. Band seems to have kept a low profile on ilm, very low. I'm starting this thread just as a catch-all should anyone ever have anything about future endeavors, etc.
Had I heard "Canines" in 2012, it probably would have been my top album of the year. Pretty sure they deliver on almost everything I ever wanted Comet Gain to do, and demonstrate that twee-pop with good production is an avenue that deserves more thought.

They weren't ever twee, though. I never understood that stance from reviewers.

both their albums have some excellent tracks. i think i might prefer life death prizes just slightly to canines, but both are really good records. and very much not twee, though i blame their record labels

I'm in agreement with emil.y and electricsound here, I don't get a twee vibe from Shrag's records at all!
