This Toronto-based bands' self-titled Arts & Crafts debut was produced by Murray Lightburn of The Dears and was released on October 25, 2011 as a free download and on limited edition vinyl.  It's the first in a trio of planned full-length records. 

Second in the trilogy is AJA, an interpretation of Steely Dan’s 1977 studio masterpiece that was produced, arranged and recorded by the band. It will be released next week (January 24) also on limited edition vinyl. 

A third original studio album is planned for late 2012.
