On ‘alopecia’, backpack hip-hop, pop and indie-rock came together in addictive, candid and catchy slice of geeky brilliance that we can’t quite come to terms with being 10 years old.

There’s so many hits here, from the dark incantations of ‘good friday’ (that a hyped crowd at audio begged them to play twice when they toured the album), the pop-perfection of ‘these few presidents’, to the emo-chime of ‘song of the sad assassin’. Time has been kind to this unique record, which sparkles with geeky lustre on its anniversary. Loads of extras here (demos and remixes by boards of Canada and dntel) make it a a brilliant package, and the perfect audio accompaniment to nostalgic reveries about the summer of '08. “an uncontainable record that defies genre and expectations at nearly every turn” - pitchfork
