Mixed by Bryce Goggin (Pavement, Lemonheads, Akron/Family) and mastered by Wharton Tiers (Sonic Youth, Nick Cave), the debut features 12 new songs. Steve Shiffman & The Land of No will be the first release for the Chicago/Portland-based independent label founded by Todd Dahlhoff (Little Joy, The Dead Trees) and brother, Tory.

Steve Shiffman originally hails from Canada and upon moving to New York City, was instantly drawn to the antifolk music scene that was bubbling underground. He soon met and teamed up with drummer Pete Hayes (The Figgs) and the duo became the first incarnation of what was to become Steve Shiffman & The Land of No. They released the home-recorded self-produced EP Tambourino in 2003 which received raves and produced successful tours on both sides of the Atlantic. The duo began to steadily expand as their popularity grew and eventually bassist Kent Heine (Holy Ghost), guitarist dAve Hollinghurst (Nicole Atkins) and guitarist Alec Ferrell (Holy Ghost) rounded out the line-up. They played a series of sold-out residencies around NYC and have toured up and down the Northeast, sharing the stage with artists as diverse as Regina Spektor, Morningwood, Adam Green, The Pernice Brothers, The Black Angels, and Jens Lekman.

Steve Shiffman & The Land of No began as a one man project and have since grown into a fully fleshed out band comprised of five eclectic musicians who each contribute their own distinctive talents. Already recognized and respected by their peers, Steve Shiffman & The Land of No are ready to introduce the rest of the world to their unique brand of songwriting.
