The group's debut full-length album, Can't Talk Medicine, comes out this month and is packed with great new tracks, including one featuring XPN favorite Sharon Van Etten.

Released one single at a time on 7" vinyl it put the band on the map and became one of the most popular albums of the year in Seattle.
