Here's the link to buy it:

It's also now available on iTunes... just type our album "Avoid Lurks" into the search bar, and have a mid-afternoon download PARTY! (but after you download you should really go to CD Baby and buy the actual CD... Original Recipe worked his guts out on the album layout.)

Here's the review from Las Vegas Weekly:

The Lurks!

Avoid Lurks

Rough as the low-bit-rate, MySpace-ripped, live version of “Dinner for a Dog” I’ve had on my iPod for the past year sounds, it was with some trepidation that I cued up the studio version that leads off The Lurks’ new debut disc. Because, in large part, what appeals to me about the song, beyond its spry melody and clever lyrics, is its distinct lack of polish.

Not to worry. The first cut on Avoid Lurks—and the rest of the nine-track, 25-minute bar-punk affair, for that matter—comes off appropriately raw. Quint Olsen’s voice is still gritty as emery, and the trio’s instrumentation retains that fresh, did-it-in-one-take quality (check the endearingly tremulous harmonica solo midway through “Dinner” for proof). There’s even an awesomely rugged cover of The Beatles’ “I’ve Just Seen a Face,” done in total seriousness, apart from the “No. 9” intro bit.

If you’ve never seen the band at the Double Down or Bunkhouse, Avoid will give you a true idea you’re missing; if you’re already a regular, it’ll bring the Lurks experience into your living room without waking up the neighbors.

Here's the review from City Life:

The Lurks!

Avoid Lurks (self-released)

It took exactly the span of The Lurks! 25-minute Avoid Lurks to drive from their CD release show at Divebar to my driveway in Boulder City. Perfect length; if this thing went on for any longer, it wouldn't be the kind of album you listen to over and over again -- and I mean over and over. Listened to it on the drive. Then when I got home. Then I woke up with the opener "Dinner for a Dog," stuck in my head. Listened more. All weekend. Nothing else. Likely listening as you read this.

It's nine balls-to-the-wall country and punk-influenced rock 'n' roll jams, much like The Supersuckers (even with the lead guitar parts). But unlike The Supersuckers, singer Quint Olsen exudes a certain modest poignancy, while still having a good time -- kinda like The Descendents, or like A.M.-era Wilco on speed.

Your girlfriends may tell you otherwise, but listen to me. Do not avoid lurks.
