San Francisco songsmith-wonder JOHN VANDERSLICE returns with his third album of subtly orchestral pop sounds -- he calls it his best yet. Twelve ambitious tracks loaded with smart arrangements, sharp lyrics, and a dazzling sense of atmosphere. Features guest appearances from Ben Gibbard (DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE), Bill Swan (BEULAH), Kori Gardner (MATES OF STATE), Jim Eno (SPOON), and others; John also collaborated in the writing of two of the songs with John Darnielle of the MOUNTAIN GOATS.
