Zoe/Rounder is their American record company.
I believe it's Sire Records who distributes them in Canada. Sire is owned by Universal Records, who in turn take care of the worldwide distribution.

The album that changed everything for me.
Thanks Robbie, Johnny, Paul, Sinclair and Gordie.
Anyone else here got some intense IBE love?
Mean Streak, Copenhagen, If New Orleans Is Beat, Gus... what a gem.
I know 75% of the people here grew up with Fully Completely and Henhouse etc... but this was the shit I grew up with.

My favorite album of all time and has a special place in my heart. This was my first Hip album and it opened the door to a whole new world of music to me-- Pearl Jam, Radiohead, The National, and many others. During my formative years these were all bands who changed how I think and shaped how I perceive my world. I was 14 at the time and had just discovered The Hip via a friend. I began to take more and more notice of their songs on the radio and realized I needed all their albums. I got it for Chirstmas 2004 from my aunt. I was bummed at first because I wanted the one with New Orleans is Sinking, not New Orleans is Beat. My aunt didn't know any better, but in hidsight it was the best Christmas present I've ever recieved. Aftter my first listen I was enraptured. The vocals (I think You're Everywhere is one of Gord's best vocal performances-- just incredible) and lyrics were so unlike anything I've heard (what the fuck is an autodidact? what the shit is a nadir? who the hell writes lyrics with with weird words like that???) and the meoldies had me hooked. Not before long I became obsessed with the whole album. I would listen to it all day, analyze the lyrics, pouring over the album art, going on Cameron Tomsett's website to look at more of his art-- full nerd mode. It made me fall in love with words, lyrics, books, poetry, music, and art. Every subsequent Hip album would get the same treatment, but In Between Evolution will always be The One. Every Christmas I spin the hell out of that album and it instantly brings me back to some great memories when I discovered a whole new world. When I spin it this Christmas it's gonna be emotional to say the least.

I love IBE - can't wait to spin the new vinyl once I get a chance. While I was really hoping for WATS in Ottawa as I missed that tour when they had to cancel Halifax, I was very happy to hear the IBE set.

Top five album for me and Gus is a top three song. Criminally underrated. As good as FC (minus nostalgia points).

Yes, I love this. I've been looking forward to the album reviews to get to M@W, IVL, IBE, & World Container, all albums that came out when I was a teenager/young adult and in my prime hip obsession. These were the albums where I was lined up at the record store the morning of their release, I was too young for all the albums before that.
I often feel a little out of place here because UtH, RA, and FC are not my favourite albums and quite often my favourite songs are what seem like the least popular. You're Everywhere, Makeshift, Heart of the Melt, and Goodnight Josephine are among my favourites, especially in regards to Gord's lyrics. The final stanza of Josephine is my favourite thing that Gord ever wrote.
Maybe we're born lost, born to persevere
But, honey, I'd walk into your painting until I reappeared
As a speck of comet tail dust, a blue green northern light
Flickering just, in your eyes' deepest ravines
Goodnight, goodnight, Josephine

'Are We Family' is one of my favourite Hip tunes. Will always regret not getting to hear it live.
