Within and Without

Within and Without was produced by Ben H. Allen, who also mixed it and played bass and percussion, and Ernest Greene; John Maskew and Rob Skipworth recorded it and Joe Lambert mastered it. Recording locations and dates are not given. Mark Cobb played rototoms, Bradley Hagen drums, Heather McIntosh cello and Caroline Polachek sang on "You and I". Wikipedia gives July 12 and July 6, 2011 on different pages. It reached 26 on the Billboard 200 with 15,000 copies in its first week, 5 on the US Independent chart and 89 in the UK, and had sold 89,000 in the US by July 2013.

Metacritic scored it 70. Pitchfork's Brandon Soderberg gave it 8.3, calling it a declaration to snarky ironists that there is nothing to be ashamed of; the BBC's Paul Lester found a less punchy version of Greene's pristine melancholia. Treble's Justin Stephani heard sounds that don't vehemently demand your attention but reward repeat listening.
