Gibbard had this to say in a press release: "Bandwagonesque is my favorite record by my favorite band of all time. It came along at a pivotal time in my musical life and I've loved it for over 25 years. It's been such a blast taking these songs apart to see how they work and then putting them back together again."

Pre-orders for the series are $25 a month (plus shipping) and are available here.
