Yeah I forgot they had that limited cassette release. I guess Light Up Gold is their first album where anyone besides people close to their scene took any notice. Very anti-hipster of me to forget the underground debut.

Yeah, it's not half bad though. I saw them last week and they even performed a song from it.
