Vinyl LP pressing, The mini album Shiny New Model covers various thematic ground: history alive in the present, the sadness of modern consumption, adultery via sexting, and a song set inside an actual Bodega ('Shiny New Model'). In addition to the breezy hook-filled songs, the vinyl and CD feature an extended improvised version of the group's staple track Truth Is Not Punishment (an abbreviated 'radio edit' of this track will be available on streaming services). The band has been using this song as a vehicle for live improvisation for a year and decided to use a day of the session to experiment with capturing the song's new, extended boundaries in the studio.
