Gizmodgery

Gizmodgery is the fourth studio album by the American pop rock band Self, released on September 5, 2000, by Spongebath Records. Recorded entirely with toy instruments, its music was written and composed by their frontman, Matt Mahaffey, with the band's other members contributing to select songs. The album's sole single, "Trunk Fulla Amps", received a music video and television commercial, whilst the song "Dead Man" became a sleeper hit in the early 2020s. Gizmodgery received generally positive reviews upon its release, discussing its unique production and playful energy, with Self's cover of "What a Fool Believes" receiving consistent praise. Commercially, Gizmodgery sold over 13,000 copies in its first week and peaked near the top of multiple CMJ charts. The album was distributed in Japan by Avex Inc. in 2001, and on vinyl through El Camino Media in 2015. Various cut songs and b-sides were later released on their second compilation album, Selfafornia.
