Listen to some songs from the upcoming boxed set release:

On August 31, 2010, tinhorn planet music will release BUILDING YOUR LO-FI SHELTER, a 112-song, 5-CD boxed set by prolific Buffalo/Rochester, NY, band the gifted children. This compiles all of the gifted children's early, extremely limited, cassette-only albums and EPs. Originally recorded and released between 1995 and 1998, these songs show the gifted children developing from their earliest days as a fairly straight-ahead, somewhat shambolic folk group to a super-prolific indie rock band penning short, hook-laden songs.

All of the original 4-track recordings have been digitized, remixed and remastered. In addition to original artwork, each CD will contain a 12-page booklet with lyrics, credits and photos. The limited-edition boxed set will also contain a full-color booklet containing photos of the band during early recording sessions and live shows.
