Teaming up with producer Mell Dettmer (Femi Kuti, Bassekou Kouyate, Clinton Fearon), the band spent most of 2010 in the studio, releasing their second full-length album World War Free on August 2011.

The song peaked at #4 on Island 98.5 in Honolulu and was first performed live during an in-studio on Seattle’s KEXP 90.3 FM in January 2011 which hit the #19 spot on the station’s Top Live Performances chart, falling right below Death Cab For Cutie. In March 2012 “Love You Better†hit #7 on 93.1 Da Pa‘ina in Honolulu. The second single off the album, “First Avenue,†features a guest appearance by Prometheus Brown of renowned Seattle hip hop duo Blue Scholars.
