The band are offering the track “See These Bones”, taken from the album, as a free download via their MySpace page. “I tend to be pretty hopeful about things further in the future, but full of anxiety about the next eight hours,” jokes vocalist Matthew Caws. "Unlike my friend John Flansburgh from They Might Be Giants, who says he's manic depressive without the depression, I think I'm manic depressive without the mania. Yet I'm ready to be cheerful at the drop of a reason. I'm always looking for rapture in music."

01.) Weightless
02.) Whose Authority
