From The Decker House
From The Decker House
, their first major label contribution, was released on
July 25,
2006 on
V2 records.
"Basking in a remarkably classic, yet fresh, approach to roots rock that channels the Best Beatle and a love for Americana without venturing too deeply into rock’n’roll resurrection fantasies." .
[1]
Additional contributors on the album include
Samuel Markus who co-wrote "Back Home To Harlem", "Cold In the Country", "Diamond Ring", "You Make Me Blue", "Trouble", "California Moon", and "Doctor", jazz pianist Bob Dorough and Devendra Banhart collaborator Andy Cabic. It was produced and mixed by Thom Monahan.

# Doctor

Lonesome
Released
November 20,
2007, the
Lonesome EP
is the band's self-released follow up to the
From the Decker House
EP.
It consists of tracks:
# Poor Bonnie's Affliction (Instrumental)
# Untitled #1
# California Moon
# Murder Ballad In G Minor
# Honey, Stay A While
# A Bullet Painted Red
Just as its predecessor, the EP was released to critical praise. "Though comprised of only six songs, Lonesome manages to be one of the most complete and satisfying releases of the past year. Whether delicately crafting an exquisite piece of folk music (as on instrumental opener “Poor Bonnie’s Affliction” or the gentle “Untitled #1"), gradually developing a sonic gem in the vein of Wilco ("California Moon") or putting a fresh twist on the tried and true lyrical theme about devious women causing the ruin of poor, unsuspecting men ("Murder Ballad in G Minor"), the New York based group gives their music enough room to breathe, grow and resonate, never getting in the way."
