One man has made a beautifully subtle magic in his bedroom studio--and it will be heard on The O.C. in no time.

I Sold Gold, despite its lack of crisp tones, has clearly seen plenty of production fussiness, leading to a great sounding record that would fit in a lineup of Tiny Telephone productions, like Death Cab for Cutie in particular.
-
I Sold Gold is the rare record that can poke fun at itself, the world, and its fans yet transcend simple entertainment.
