Despite being recorded mostly in Dieterich's bedroom and being mixed on the band's laptop in hotel rooms during tours with Radiohead, The Flaming Lips, and Beck, 2007's Friend Opportunity had a polished, cinematic sound.
A pesar de ser gravado principalmente na habitación de Dieterich e de ser mesturado no ordenador da banda en hoteis durante as súas xiras con Radiohead, The Flaming Lips e Beck, Friend Opportunity ten un son pulido e cinemático.
