yeah, didn't they have the record basically in the can when tyondai left, and then replaced all of his parts and vox? i remember being so stoked by video of their set at the Warp anniversary show in 2009, "Ice Cream" particularly, and then the record was just such a let down, tyondai really fucked them

I guess one upside of being a duo is that there's a lot of room for the drums to sound huge
