 So Many Dynamos began recording their second full-length album, "Flashlights", with Chris Deckard at Radio Penny in March 2006.The band spent more time in the studio than with "When I Explode", and consequently was able to experiment wildly with instrumentation; the record utilizes a horn section and a choir, and incorporates instruments such as thumb pianos and toy accordions.This resulted in a more intricate and "live" sounding record, expanding on the band's existing sound.
