After a couple of low-key releases, including 2002's cassette only Wisconsin Death Trip mini album and 2005's Skeletal Demos EP, Stafford recruited guitarist/sound engineer Tommy Blair and drummer/clarinettist Jon McCall.
Their final show was played at Sneaky Pete's on 11 March 2011 with original member Robbie Lesiuk returning in place of Tommy Blair on guitar.
The LP received much acclaim from the Scottish Music Press, drawing comparisons to Leonard Cohen,[2] Ry Cooder,[3] and fellow Falkirk musicians Arab Strap.
Kim Moore from Glasgow band Zoey Van Goey provided viola and vocals on the track "High Hopes, Lost Love & Ruined Lives".
The album contained perhaps the band's two most famous songs, "With Handclaps" (which was championed by Tom Robinson on BBC Radio 6) and Punk Rock Disco.
Dubbed the Super Puny Humans, and inspired by Ballad of the Books project, the shows featured performances by both bands and sections with everyone on stage.
