Their debut album Welcome To Goon Island was released on 28 June 2008 on Mute Records. It includes the songs "Onkawara/B-54", "Darlin'", "The Way We Were", "Only You" and other songs from previous releases. The album was recorded with Ross Orton. In April 2007 the group were on the cover of ArtRocker magazine.

The song "Darlin'" from the album Welcome To Goon Island was included in "NME's Tracks Of The Year 2007".[2]
