Dressed Up & In Line

A polished collection of rarities and acoustic reworkings where fragile piano melodies and breathy falsettos transform emo-rock into intimate chamber pop.

November 20, 2007 · The Militia Group

Dressed Up & In Line is far more than a standard b-sides collection; it is a meticulously curated gallery of the band's most intimate and experimental impulses. While many compilations feel like a disorganized clearinghouse of leftovers, this release benefits from Aaron Marsh's heavy involvement in 'sprucing up' and re-mixing the material. The result is a cohesive, high-fidelity journey through the band's softer, more atmospheric side. It sounds like a quiet conversation held in a dimly lit room, where every piano note is given the space to decay naturally and every breathy vocal inflection is captured with crystalline clarity.

Moments Worth Listening For

the transition from the glitchy electronic beat to the soaring falsetto in the Brightest remix

the moment the cello enters during the acoustic version of Sleep, grounding the ethereal piano melody

the delicate, unhurried pacing of the Phil Collins cover, where the space between notes feels as heavy as the music
