In their time together they released two further albums, 2005 LP Very Fast Very Dangerous and their independently released swansong, In Nothing We Trust in 2007 before announcing an indefinite hiatus. They’ve went on to gather something of a cult following, and this release through Xtra Mile Recordings is a result of massive fan pressure.

Frontman Jamie Lenman made his solo debut in 2013 with double album Muscle Memory and has spent his post-Reuben time illustrating for The Guardian and Dr Who Magazine.

“This is a big deal for me as it was my first album and even though it has its flaws I still love it. Certainly at the time, we never thought anyone would give a damn ten years down the line.” –Jamie Lenman
