During their US tour last winter, everyone agreed: Shifting Sands is a great song, possibly their best ever. Because of this Drive-In arranged to share them with their Australian record label for the release of this record which also has a Hydroplane remix called Shifting Allegiances on the b-side. The Mabels list Trembling Blue Stars, Low and Damien Jurado among their influences/approved comparisons. They have a couple full length discs and a split single with their friends the Lucksmiths out on Candle Records in Australia.
