Close Calls With Brick Walls & Mother Of Mankind

Close Calls With Brick Walls było nagrywane w wielu sesjach w latach 2004 i 2005, przy użyciu pełnego zespółu koncertowego po raz pierwszy. Album zawiera ekscytujące nowe numeryy, style i rytmy. Teksty są bardziej złożone, choć nadal bardzo zabawne.

Mother Of Mankind to zbiór rzadkich piosenek. Zjadziecie tu – 8-bitowy rock "Big Party", "Hair Metal z High Five" i "Let's Go On A Date", zamglona psychedelia która wygrzewa się w tym samym słońcu co Panda Bear.

Double CD set featuring the first global CD issue of Close Calls With Brick Walls = 兄貴、危機一髪!, paired with brand new rarities collection Mother Of Mankind.

Each CD is packaged in individual jewel cases, both presented inside a slipcase. First catalog number is from slipcase, second one from Close Calls With Brick Walls, third one from Mother Of Mankind.

Many copies were autographed by Andrew W.K. himself.
