What a terrible poker face
Long out-of-print in the UK and never before available on the format in North America, this reissue is accompanied the debut of a new Merge Records UK webstore, a brand new Clientele tee, and the official video for "House on Fire," resurrected from the enhanced CD issue of the album!
