Even rats the slip


Eisenhower is the fourth studio album and eighth album overall by American indie rock band The Slip. It was released November 7, 2006 on Bar/None Records.

The album represents a departure for the Boston band, going from their previous jazz-fused to sound to a more streamlined, indie rock sound. It features contributions from Japanese singer Ua, and Chris Seligman from the Canadian indie band Stars.

The song "Even Rats" was featured in the PlayStation 2 video game Guitar Hero. Live versions of "Children of December" and "If One of Us Should Fall" were previously released on Live at Lupo's 6/12/04, and another live version of the latter was on Alivelectric. "Children of December" and "Even Rats" were released for the Rock Band video game series through the Rock Band Network on March 4, 2010.
