Released: 2008

Mason Proper's second album, released September 23rd, 2008 on Dovecote Records. The band recorded it themselves in one month, in an empty wooden house they rented. Vocalist/recording engineer Jonathan Visger then flew to Carriage House Studios in Connecticut, to meet up with Chris Coady (TV on the Radio, Blonde Redhead, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs) to mix the album in an 11 day marathon session. The album was mixed on the same board as the Pixies' "Doolittle." "Olly Oxen Free" blends dark humor, sturdy drum and bass grooves, flowing vocal melodies set to lyrics informed by literary nonsense and magical realism, sparkling guitars, and the "anything goes" sampling style of hip hop, to create a very distinct sonic signature.
