Interpersonal issues long since resolved, the band released their debut, Tourist History (Glassnote), a charming scrapbook of ringing guitars, yearning, Ben Gibbard-style vocals, and swelling laptop beats that vacillates between bittersweet angst (“Come Back Home”) and swooning exuberance (“Cigarettes in the Theatre”). “Alex wore these baggy black jeans and a Nirvana T-shirt to school - I didn’t like the look of him,” remembers Baird, “and he probably didn’t like me because I was a jock.”
