This was John Vanderslice's band, before he started putting out solo records. They put out 3 albums, and had a pretty rabid fan base, but then one of the members decided he was done, and the rest elected to end the band, instead of replacing him. This album was reviewed extremely favorably. Pitchfork, in the wake of the hysteria caused by Radiohead's "Ok Computer" went so far as to call mkU "the American Radiohead."
Most of mkU's music sounds a lot like it could be one of John's solo albums. So basically, if you like John Vanderslice, you should love this album. If you aren't really a John Vanderslic fan, probably stay away, although, maybe the slightly more full band vibe will make you appreciate this record. Probably not.
