About this album

Sound: "A tender collection of introspective acoustic renditions and heartfelt covers that showcase vulnerability and melodic craftsmanship."

Where they were

Released in 2007, 'Dressed Up & In Line' marked Copeland's transition into a more stripped-back sound following their critically acclaimed album 'Eat, Sleep, Repeat' from 2006. This album came during a phase where the band was exploring softer acoustic arrangements and reinterpreting their previous work for an intimate setting.

Why it matters

'Dressed Up & In Line' is notable for its blend of original tracks and acoustic reinterpretations that resonated with both fans and critics. The album's thoughtful approach to familiar songs like 'Every Breath You Take' showcased the band's artistic range, contributing to the alternative rock scene's appreciation for emotional depth in music.

Essential tracks

  • "You Love to Sing (Slow version)" — This track captures the essence of the album’s reflective mood and showcases the band's ability to evoke deep emotion through simplicity.
  • "Black Hole Sun" — Copeland’s cover of this Soundgarden classic transforms it into a haunting experience, highlighting their unique take on iconic songs.
  • "May I Have This Dance" — 'May I Have This Dance' stands out as a beautifully arranged piece that encapsulates romantic longing, making it a highlight of the album.
  • "Thanks to You (acoustic version)" — This acoustic rendition breathes new life into a previously released song, illustrating how the band reinterprets their own work with fresh emotional weight.
