Louis XIV second full-length album SLICK DOGS AND PONIES, finds the San Diego quartet exploring new sonic terrain with lush, grandiose string arrangements by world renowned composer David Campbell. The result is a record that demonstrates a devotion to artistic growth, blending classical sensibility with their rock and roll roots. The debut single, "Guilt By Association", is an example of classic Louis XIV neo-glam: catchy, playful taunts over a scratchy dance-punk track, declaring You don't have to do the crime to serve the time.
