The ten-track album was released on compact disc in 2003, with Redi-Made Records. It was recorded at Mad Moose Recordings, produced by Hero Pattern and mastered by Brad Blackwood at Euphonic Masters. [1] The band cites influence from the rock band At the Drive-In, and singer-songwriter Elvis Costello. Cut You Out garnered attention from industry taste makers, and received significant spins on college and specialty radio. [2]

The album release party was at Maxwell's in Hoboken, New Jersey, in September 2003. [3] After Matt Pinfield played the track "Monster" on the FM radio station KROCK, the band decided to record a music video for it. The video was filmed at their friends home in Weehawken, New Jersey. [3] On 15 February 2019, Cut You Out was digitally released with Mint 400 Records.

Reception

Jeff Brown of CMJ compares the album to the music of Sister Hazel and Tonic, and says Cut You Out is a "mature, well-crafted rock record resplendent with a sound that swings for the fences." He notes Kundrath "belts over gigantic power pop guitar hook[s]" for the title-track "Cut You Out," and "What Do You Have To Say" and "Watch" nail the feel of post grunge and modern rock. [4] A review by Brad Maybe in CMJ says "urgency takes a backseat to subtlety on the disc as a whole, with the band's even-kneel approach slowly sucking you in as it progressively builds" and closes by saying Cut You Out is "a good album from a band that's going to be great." [1]

A review in Impact Press describes the album as "catchy, fine tuned, and ready for radio." It compares the album to Jimmy Eat World, Dashboard Confessional and All American Rejects and says "not only do I guarantee that you will like it, but I guarantee that in six months when these guys get put on the radio and break, you can say you heard them first." [5] A mixed review in Punk Planet by Bart Niedzialkowski says "this is a good rock record if you don't mind repetitiveness." [6]

Wah Wah is the sixth studio album by the Manchester-based English indie rock band James. After the success of their fourth album, Seven (1992), the band entered Real World Studios, Box, Wiltshire, to record their fifth album Laid in early 1993 with producer Brian Eno, with whom the group had longed to work. Prior to recording Laid, Eno observed the band's jam sessions at their Manchester rehearsal room, and considered these improvised pieces to be as important to the band's music as their eventually crafted songs. He requested to the group that whilst they were recording Laid, they would also concurrently record an album of their improvisations which Eno and, by Eno's request, second producer Markus Dravs would produce in a secondary studio in the Real World complex. Each composition started off with the band's improvisation being recorded, which Dravs would then edit, generally alone whilst James and Eno were recording Laid. Eno and Dravs would take a "promising" part of a recording and then mixed them only once. Tim Booth's desire to re-record some of his vocals caused friction in the studio.
