Customer Review: Always heard the name, never heard the band. Is this like yourself? You are intrigued by the band, that supposedly is greatness, but you don't think you are hip enough to listen? Have no fear. Buy this album and I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the number of listens you will give it.... more info
Customer Review: This is my absolute favorite DCFC CD. I LOVE it and can listen to it over and over- every single song. The music is beautiful, haunting, and just flows so easily.

This was my introduction, and I loved it. This album,... more info
Customer Review: If you are expecting an album that's anything like their later music, save your money or buy something else. Very rough production and generally so-so music makes for a major disappointment from this band. Everyone has to start somewhere, of course, and it's great that their later albums have... more info
Customer Review: Most of the tracks on this offering are lo-fi and just full of washed-out, Pacific Northwest, dreary-day angst. This sound is distinctive from the brighter, fuller sound on their more recent releases. The last 10 tracks are bonus (compiled from various releases), including a Smiths cover, a... more info
