Just Got Back implements a multitude of different instruments, including the piano, accordion, glockenspiel, synths, church organs, and different brass instruments, among others. The band suffered a computer crash and lost two of the original recordings on the album, replacing them in the final cut with mixdown versions originally used for practice purposes. The album was self-produced, apart from some mixing work by Demirjian's guitar teacher Eric Clemenzi on a couple of the tracks. Adam Demirjian – the vocalist, guitarist, and drummer of The Brave Little Abacus – said that the band chose to forgo conventional studio recording equipment and record the album at home, as they enjoyed experimenting with sound design rather than being 'confined' in a studio environment. The album was a lo-fi home recording that developed a popular following only after the band broke up, and was noted by critics for its varied instrumentation and unorthodox vocals.įollowing the release of Masked Dancers in 2009, The Brave Little Abacus quickly began writing their second and final album. Just Got Back From the Discomfort-We're Alright (stylized in all lowercase on the original release, and sometimes shortened to Just Got Back) is the second and final full-length album by American emo band The Brave Little Abacus, released on May 29, 2010.
