I spent a better part of 2010 listening to one of her hit collections on repeat. "Off And Running" is still mind-blowing.

While I am always a little sad that ukulele is taking less and less prominence, I know we will get a killer uke and Elizabeth solo tune on the record if past history has told me anything.
Wow wow, this is really excellent. Have you listened to their (well, just Elizabeth at the time) EP on Wee Pop! Records? In fact, you'd probably love everything on Wee Pop. http://www.weepop.net/
So many lawns to get off of already in this comments section. Claire is very intelligent and she made a radio friendly tune without sacrificing the qualities that make her unique. That's a great accomplishment. Clearly she is aware that the tune was written for someone else and isn't appropriate for her next full-length. That's why she released it now as a palette cleanser. She killed at Pitchfork in 2012 and I can't wait to see what she does next.
