Originally released on Words on Music in 2003, Find Yourself Along the Way captured a band charging into a reverie of wonder and awe, with ten songs brimming with guitar washes and winsome melodies. The lucid dreaming of “Freeze Our Stares” begins a transcendent journey of landscapes and color, propelled by Scott McDonald’s guitar textures. “Now I Know You Can Never Be the One” forcefully presents an honest realization that endures and resonates with Chase Harris’ self-assured vocal melodies. “See Through You” is a more casual, but no less poignant, excursion into more delicate melodic structures. Dean Yoshihara’s nimble drumming propels the buoyant “Wide Awake” and ushers “Same Lies As Yesterday” through to its soaring chorus. “Take to the Sun” is a three-act epic— leading with Harris’ distant vocals, transitioning into Arthur Chan’s bass-driven middle act, and ending with a noise-laden coda. Routinely cited as one of best shoegaze albums of the 2000s, this version of Find Yourself Along the Way, which has been carefully mastered for vinyl by Dom Liberati, is pressed on laguna colored vinyl and includes a 12”x 12” insert with lyrics and images. Arthur Chan – bass Chase Harris – guitar/vocals Scott McDonald – guitar Dean Yoshihara – drums Recorded by Aaron Espinoza (Elliott Smith, The Breeders, Folk Implosion)
