The New York quartet builds on the success of its debut, Turn on the Bright Lights, expanding musically while remaining faithful to the viscous, subversive recipe that won them critical acclaim in the first place.

"If you take too much EPO," explains WADA's Dr. Gary Wadler, professor of clinical medicine at New York University, "the production of red blood cells is excessive, and the blood becomes viscous--it's like sludge."

Hot water is injected to create a slurry that separates the raw oil from sand, clay and other particles. Then 2,500-h.p. pumps, the world's largest, push the viscous oil sands through pipes to a plant on-site that converts it to crude oil. From there, it goes by pipeline to refineries in the U.S. The output of the Alberta operations is expected soon to reach 1 million bbl. a day, surpassing U.S. crude production on Alaska's North...
