A friend of mine just turned me onto them. I got "The Crane Wife" and fuckin love it. Any suggestions on what I should get from them next?

    Awesome band.

    The Crane Wife is their best album.

    You should get Picaresque next. It's almost as good.

    Along with death cab for cutie I don't know what everyone hears in this band. Yawn.

    Picaresque is great. I'm not very familiar with Castaways and Cutouts, but I like it.

    Get "The Tain"!!!

    CANNOT wait to see these guys next month ... back to back shows ... one where they do only songs greater then 8 minutes, one where it's all songs under 5 ...

    They are billing it as the "Long of it and Short of It" (mini) tour ...

    weeeeeeee

    They really aren't our thing. I'm really glad we went to see them though. I can see if you like their music how they could be infectious. Really likeable people. :)

    my favorite band....I personally prefer Picaresque to the Crane Wife - so I would highly recommend picking it up (you can't go wrong with any of their albums or EP's IMO)
