You can purchase "Secret Alphabets" and the self-titled debut (an album quality demo collection) on their website.

Los Angeles? It's about time you're making it out my way. I've got a small cache of friends who've wanted to see you play ever since I premiered "Spades". I'll start spreading the word. And the Viper Room, no less!
i'm glad to see you all are doing as well as you are. hopefully it'll keep on progressing to the top. i honestly rank you in my music collection together equally if not better than the strokes and radiohead and other bands. if there is any justice in the music industry, you guys will be next.
