the gifted children - colorfast anthems

Release date: April 15, 2000.

The first (and, in hindsight, only) studio-recorded album by the gifted children, this is a good overview of the indie rock/folk that they were making in the late 1990s. 17 songs spanning a multitude of styles, ranging from folk to indie rock to alternative to quirky electronic pop.
