A fresh, creative reimagining of the classic album’s artwork on the occasion of its 20th anniversary celebration and a 2025 world tour beginning in the US and spanning South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The limited deluxe gatefold vinyl edition embodies the album’s DIY spirit featuring peel-off gecko stickers for personal creativity, a bonus flexi 7” with the original recording of Heavy Metal, and stunning splatter vinyls in a refined redesign— paying tribute to one of the most influential indie rock records of all time.
“a damn good record.” Bob Boilen, NPR
(All Songs Considered’s The 50 Most Important Recordings Of The Decade)
“Consistently, remarkably strong.” Pitchfork (9.0, Best New Music)
“a nearly perfect album” Billboard
“Brilliantly OTT but cleverly understated, this is an album to dance around to and to cherish.” The Guardian (****)
Alec Ounsworth wrote some of the most uplifting, celebratory tracks of this millennium, on an album of consistent excellence, and one rightly lauded for re-writing the rules of what it means to be an independent artist. A heady blend of left-field pop and melodic, exuberant indie rock, the record repurposed a number of classic new wave references for a new generation of music fans. The record’s raw, ramshackle sound has been an integral part of its appeal; time has merely magnified that charm.
