These guys seemed to own 2002 for a period of time, and it almost seems like they've fallen off the face of the earth since then. They've actually released four other albums since then, but I haven't heard a note from any of them, and I'm not really sure why. This is a solid garage rock record, and I really am surprised that I haven't given them more of a look since 2002. Perhaps it's because that's the last year that I watched any MTV2, and that is where I discovered them.
And even though you've all seen it, you probably haven't seen it recently. Here's the video for "Last Nite" ...
This album is the answer to an interesting trivia question. Which album has the lowest sales ever for a number one record? In its debut week, this album sold just over 40,000 copies, which was number one in the country, but that total is the lowest ever for a number one record. I don't give a shit about trivia like that, I'm not even sure why I shared it. This album is fantastic, featuring a good number of guest musicians, and was produced by Joey Burns of Calexico.
Here's "Violin" featuring Sam Beam ...
