I'm still shocked that it's streaming on NPR and we still don't have a decent copy of the album.

Does Franz play on this or was it recorded after he left?

I believe they went back and re-recorded his parts with a new member after he left.

They replaced him? I was hoping they'd ditch the keys.

Nicolay told Paste that he played on sessions for a forthcoming Hold Steady album, but the band has rerecorded those sessions with another keyboardist.

Also, from an article last week, it looks like they've added two new touring members for their summer tour

Brooklyn Vegan reports that they've added two new touring members, guitarist Steve Selvidge and keyboardist Dan Neustadt, since the departure of keyboardist Franz Nicolay.

This is easily my favorite album of the year so far. Like it's already been said, it still sounds like a Hold Steady album but it's cool to see them go in a different direction musically (at least a bit).
