I bought this album after hearing a track ("Things Don't Fall Apart")from it on some internet radio station. Upon purchase, I didn't expect much. I really liked the song, but I had never heard of Golden Birds, and, surely, if all their music was as infectious and well-crafted as this one song then they'd easily have garnered at least some notoriety.
