From their myspace:
"The disc is an aptly titled affair as the band enlists several members of its extended “family” to aid in this impressive 13-song effort. Guests include producer Adkins, Howe Gelb (Giant Sand, Band of Blacky Ranchette), David Bazan (Pedro the Lion), Jon Rauhouse (Neko Case, Old 97s), as well as a talented crew of West Coast luminaries (Matt Maher, Ryan Kennedy, John O’Reilly Jr.).
Mixed by Chris Fudurich (Nada Surf, Matthew Sweet), THE BULL THE BALLOON AND THE FAMILY combines the plangent guitars and yearning, almost genetic harmonies of Bufano and Corak. The album is a mélange of urgent rock and bouncy pop, fantastically infectious anthems and haltingly emotive balladry."
You just, couldn't go wrong with the people who produced this album: Jim Adkins (Jimmy Eat World), David Bazan (Pedro The Lion), Jon Rauhouse (Neko Case, Old 97s). Act On (Feeling Alone) makes me giddy everytime I hear it. That being said, this underrated gem of a record is extremely recommended. Expect a new album in the coming months as they're currently recording one.
