4. September Come Take This Heart Away
5. Ignorant Piece of Shit
6. The Piano Song
7. They'll Only Miss You When You Leave
8. A New Holiday (November 16th)
9. Farewell to All These Rotten Teeth
10. Sophisticated Fuck Princess Please Leave Me Alone
11. Low Budget Slow Motion Soundtrack Song for the Leaving Scene
12. (March 19th 1983) It Was Probably Green


Take this album away from me, I can't stop crying over it.

This is one of the most beautifully made albums I've ever listened to, possibly topping some of my all-time favorites (Silver ep, Takk, Souvlaki...). The string work is startlingly deep, the guitar harmonies are perfect, the minimalist Low-inspired drum work, the vocal harmonies, the lyrics... There is absolutely nothing bad about this album. Every song is a gem, and I can gaurentee you will listen to this on repeat for a very long time.

Also, they misspelled 'wierd' intentionally.

Get it here.
