In the words of the band's website, the new album promises to "train a watchful eye on the current socio-musical landscape" and to "weave an eerie yet strangely soothing story of escapism, apocalypse and renewal." The album features founding members David Lowery and Johnny Hickman, as well as guest appearances by John Doe, Patterson Hood and Adam Duritz, with production by David Barbe, who has worked with St. Louis' own Son Volt. "Crumbs," as Cracker fans call themselves, crackled with excitement to see the band in St. Louis on May 15, 2009 at the Duck Room.
