'August and Everything After' set the foundation for this band to accomplish one of the greatest milestones in a musical career: be featured in the Shrek 2 soundtrack.

A softie debut, marked by its excessive but fully controlled nostalgia, whose more intriguing element is that it is produced by T-Bone Burnett and which is totally focused on whatever happened before August, without a single mention of the day after.
