Their second album Aha Shake Heartbreak featured a diverse mix of influences, compared to their debut album Youth And Young Manhood, which was more in the straight-forward garage rock / southern rock area. Aha Shake Heartbreak shows the band flirting with latin-styled music, acoustic guitars and heavy twin-guitar riffs. The album originally contained 12 songs, but some countries (U.K., Japan) issued a CD bonustrack "Where Nobody Knows". The vinyl edition of the album was a limited 2x10" LP, which has been out of print for some time.

Producer Ethan Johns (known for Ryan Adams, Ben Kweller a.o.) handled the producers' knobs again and used the Abbey road mixing desk for this job. Eventually, the album was ranked #39 on Rolling Stone's Top 100 Albums Of The Decade.

We're pleased to announce a 180 gram heavy-weight vinyl edition of the album including the UK/Japan bonustrack and housed in a luxurious gatefold sleeve.

"Now the melodies are sharper, the grooves are, er, groovier."
