7... is the seventh studio album by Mint Condition released on April 5, 2011. It is the first album the band has released on the label Shanachie Records. The album title refers to this being their seventh album in their 20 years of performing. At under 46 minutes, it also is distinctive as being the shortest album in their catalog. The album cover was photographed by bassist Ricky Kinchen, who has done the photography for all Mint Condition albums since 1999's Life's Aquarium.
