They've signed to their first major label and have released a new album, Omni, that is loaded with big sounds, big synth, and big hooks. They stopped by our studios before their Taste of Minnesota show to chat with Mac Wilson about recording live rather than over-dubbing and how leaking songs helps bands instead of hindering them. Songs performed: "Hold Me Down," "Summer Angel," and "My Time."
