Another Man’s Treasure

Another Man’s Treasure is Ima Robt’s third full length studio album released through the indie record label, Werewolf Heart Records. The band strives heavily away from their original sound and image, leaving their original major record label (Virgin records) and creating a more electronic dance punk sound. Some fans of their previous albums were not fully on board with the band’s new experimental and electronic sound. Alex has been quoted in an interview with KCRW saying,

This album was made at a very strange time for us, like I was starting to write the Edward Sharpe songs, Timmy was producing a lot, Philip was producing a lot and we were sort of re grouping in a way and just getting together at Timmy’s studio when we could. We didn’t know what would really become of these songs and they were sort of made over a long period of time. So it was sort of like “well lets at least put them out and not let them sit around.” They sort of felt like these little lonely songs hanging around almost like garbage and we wanted to sort of address that and say that “another man’s treasure” as in our treasure.

The record went relatively unnoticed with the era mostly being remembered from their single “Greenback Boogie” which was featured as an opening theme for the TV series Suits.
