The record was recorded in Nashville at Blackbird Studio. And word around [...]
repost from October '06: From the Barsuk label that currently houses Death Cab for Cutie, Rilo Kiley, and Mates of State; the Starlight Mints bring what is described as an "instrumental, surrealistically worded pop sound."

The bottom line is they are a hardworking band who put on a great concert, and I believe, have one of the best albums of 2006. [...]
