Everything in Transit, the debut from Jack's Mannequin, came out on Maverick on August 23, 2005, and it began as Andrew McMahon's escape hatch. With tensions running high in Something Corporate and that band on a break, McMahon went home to Orange County, California, and started cutting songs with producer Jim Wirt, beginning at 4th Street Studios.
It's a concept record about coming back to California and the end of a long relationship, and it sounds nothing like his old band: sunny power pop with '60s and '70s pop albums in its bones, Pet Sounds most of all. "The Mixed Tape" bounces, and "Dark Blue", a late addition that pushed the release back, aches. In the run-up to release McMahon was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia; he went through chemotherapy and a stem-cell transplant from his sister Katie, and by October he was in remission. The album debuted at No. 37 on the Billboard 200.
