Casually Dressed & Deep in Conversation shows a new direction for the band from Four Ways to Scream Your Name (2002), and displays a more mature and developed sound. The album also features brand-new versions of the songs "Juneau," "Escape Artists Never Die," "Red is the New Black" and "Summer's Dead and Buried" (now called "She Drove Me to Daytime Television").
