"Guilt By Association" comes from Slick Dogs and Ponies, the third album by garage rockers Louis XIV, out in January 2008. Jason Hill wrote it with Brian Karscig, then produced and recorded it himself, with Karscig, Mark Maigaard and Natasha Shneider pitching in extra production and Mark Needham handling the mix.

The guest list hangs some strange ornaments on the strut: Shneider plays harpsichord and analog synthesizer, and Alain Johannes adds flute on top of extra guitar, which gives the garage stomp a baroque, slightly decadent sheen. The album's rollout was a mess, though. It leaked onto torrent sites more than a week before release, after the band briefly posted every song on MySpace, and the album's reviews came in mostly harsh.
