So of course Jeremiah Edmond, whom up until recently was the amazing drummer for Manchester Orchestra but gave that up in order to stay in one place with his wife and run the label Favorite Gentlemen, happily pressed and marketed the music for him.
And when I say happily... I mean, he hand packaged these suckers and numbered them individually. And wrote a thank you note to go along with every order.

The project to him is the opportunity to "do exactly the opposite of" what he truly does enjoy - the working with a team. The sound, though, still comes off as if it was created by a group of happy pop rockers... Silversun Pickups. The Beach Boys. The Lemonheads. Something in there somewhere.
That's the magic of software: "This is a computer album that could have never been done if it were on tape. It became a science project rather than a band." The album name is On Your Mark, Get Set and I'm not sure how serious I need to be with you when I tell you - it's obviously just the beginning and you should really pay attention.
Now, despite the fact that Track One is :49 of Gobotron repeating the word "Nothing" and maybe shouldn't qualify as a track, somehow the "formula" has prevailed and it is Track Four which really gives what I think is the best representation. Enjoy "Never Turn Around":
