Self-Titled Long-Playing Debut Album is the first album released by
+/-. It was written, performed and recorded almost entirely by former
Versus guitarist James Baluyut, with his Versus bandmate Patrick Ramos playing additional drums on the album. Baluyut used the recording of the album to experiment with techniques such as
5-4 time and sampling. Upon release the album was acclaimed for its fusion of
indie-rock song structures with
electronica production techniques, and it was compared favourably to work by
The Microphones and
The Notwist.[2] The track "All I do" was later featured in the
soundtrack for the film
Wicker Park.
