After 10 years of Andy Shauf's The Party, it's time for the afterparty

The Party (10th Anniversary Edition) adds nine never- before-released tracks to the original studio version of this essential indie album of the last decade, including two brand new songs, plus alternate cuts and demo recordings.

With The Party, Shauf masterfully creates a cast of memorable and unique characters. They show up "Early to the Party," reveal secrets ("To You") or try to reveal nothing ("The Magician"). In "a city the size of a dinner plate," everyone knew the guy who keeled over after smoking what he promised would be his last pack of cigarettes ("Alexander All Alone"). There's the girl dancing by herself in the middle of the room, with the "Eyes of Them All" upon her. One moment you're dancing with someone who bears an uncanny resemblance to your ex ("Martha Sways") and later slagging your best friend as way of endearing yourself to his recently dumped ex ("Quite Like You"). 

All of this is set to ornate arrangements of fuzzed- out guitars, string sections, clarinets and dreamy synths, all draped over delicate piano, acoustic guitars and rainy-day drums.
