Pin Me Down were a pop/electronica/rock side project of guitarist Russell Lissack, of the British band Bloc Party, and guitarist/singer Milena Mepris.
[citation needed] The band made their live debut as a 5–6 piece in May 2008 in London, supporting Yeasayer.
The album was produced by Alex Elena, who previously played drums with Mepris and manager Ptak's band Artificial Joy.
The track "Time Crisis" had previously been released on the band's website at the beginning of the year.
[2] Robert Cooke, writing for Drowned in Sound gave the album a negative review of 3 out of 10, saying that the production was a letdown, and "...fundamentally, the songs just aren't great".
