Reunion Tour by The Weakerthans
Reunion Tour is an album by The Weakerthans, released in 2007. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 4 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Civil Twilight”, on 3 lists with a best position of #48.
Reunion Tour, the fourth Weakerthans album, came out on Epitaph in September 2007, with Ian Blurton back in the producer's chair after doing the job on Left and Leaving and Reconstruction Site. Blurton called it the band's most experimental record yet, and guitarist Stephen Carroll pointed to the ambient textures, tape loops and extra keyboards.
It still sounds like the Weakerthans, though: warm, literate indie rock with a folk-punk undertow, only now with more space and shimmer around the songs. "Civil Twilight" and "Tournament of Hearts" are the ones that stuck. Even the rollout had a sense of humour, with mock making-of webisodes posted on Epitaph's website before release.
