The Capgun Coup story starts three years ago in suburban Omaha, Nebraska, where Elsasser and Martin began playing music together. Mutual boredom coupled with an interest in avant noise would fuel the duo’s early collaborations, but after a move downtown and after the addition of two members (Matz on bass and Ohlsson on drums), Capgun Coup became less interested in white noise, and completely enamored with pop. The result is an album that is as much an homage to basement shows and house parties as it is to the indie pop tradition.
