We have been weekend warrioring the crap out of this LP, but we are proud to announce that the music portion is now recorded! Take a gander at this here board for proof.
While you are there, look at our stupid pet names for our tracks, lol. You will also note that there are 13 total tracks, but 11 are on the album and those bonus two are for imports, special versions, etc.
I have a weird process where I don’t write lyrics/vocals until the music is recorded, so it’ll still be a bit but we are trying to keep you all updated. Admittedly, I am bad at that, so I will try to be better, haha.ALSO, NAME ONE OTHER BAND THAT HAS A CAPO CHART ON THEIR BOARD, LULZZZ.
We started shipping them in the order in which we received the orders as of last week. When your order ships you’ll get tracking info and a confirmation via email. Download codes will be sent out tonight. If you haven’t ordered it yet, you can here.

Pre-orders are now up for A Great Big Pile of Leaves’ follow-up album You’re Always On My Mind!
Listen to a new song from the album “Pet Mouse” (featuring Motion City Soundtrack’s Justin Pierre) over on Purevolume.
