Liner Notes
“Frances The Mute” was released as a bonus single by Best Buy and as part of the deluxe edition of the Frances The Mute vinyl. It was excluded from the Frances The Mute album due to time restraints. Nicknamed “decoder”, many fans prefer to play the song at the beginning of the album. Despite not being released on the album the songs lyrics appear inside of the Frances The Mute album, behind the CD disc tray.
“The Widow” (Live Acoustic) was recorded at The Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles, CA on May 6th, 2004.
The 2023 release features a remastered version of Frances the Mute.
