Since then, they\u2019ve released three albums together. Their fourth, Extended Vacation, has taken three years of hard work and bits of time stolen from their other musical endeavors (Kotche is a member of Wilco and both have various solo projects). <em>Extended Vacation<\/em>\u2019s particular take on sound collage is composed of field recordings, stand up bass, vibraphone, and a diverse collection of percussive sounds. The result is a spacious, at times tedious, collection of enchanting mid-tempo compositions reminiscent of Michael Andrews\u2019 work on the <em>Donnie Darko<\/em> soundtrack. In other words, the vibraphone dominates things quite a bit. \u201cComplications\u201d and \u201cOff the Path\u201d sound authentically liminal and eerie, while \u201cDay Dreaming So Early\u201d (like the majority of tracks on this album) seems to be overrun by occasionally obnoxious bird sounds. Bird enthusiasts take note, this is your post-rock soundtrack.
