The website is previewing 3 tracks, adding more as the release date gets closer. I like the sound. It's brighter than Songs in Red and Gray, and kind of retro in a way I can't really describe.

I emailed them asking if this was their joke or CBS's/Letterman's and Aaron replied that the info came straight from the CBS press release and it's not a repeat. Sue replied that "perhaps they'll have a cardboard cutout of Paris, which would probably be more of an interesting interview than Paris anyway" or something like that.
