No Idea Records has launched a full album stream for Small Brown Bike‘s latest full length released earlier this week, Fell And Found. The album marks the group’s first new material since 2003′s The River Bed, and first time the original four members have recorded together since 1999′s Our Own Wars. The album features 11 new songs recorded at Million Yen Studios in Chicago, IL under JJ Robbins. Frontman Mike Reed, describes the band’s feelings approaching release:
“This record brings together everything we’ve done as a band, but still feels new. We didn’t over think things and just had fun making music again. We’ve written 20 or so songs since we got back together and these are some of our favorites… Recording with J was something we’ve always wanted to do. It was such an honor to make it happen. He put in long days and kept the ship running smoothly. It was gratifying to come full circle and still have fun in the studio with your best friends. We owe a lot of that to J.”
