The gents of S' (s-apostrophe, the plural possessive) live in Ann Arbor, MI. Their debut album, called "I was Born in the Dollar Store" was released on July 10, 2006, featuring 7 tracks including "That Man is not an Astronaut," "Yellow Fever!" and the title track "I was Born in the Dollar Store." The album artwork was designed by long-time S' friend, Danica Novgorodoff.
S' have received national acclaim from NPR.org, Salon.com's Audiofile, American Songwriters Magazine and The Great American Song Contest, with NPR stating, "Dollar store centers around a loose narrative about a robot and a Plural Possesive who wanders around things ranging from pick-up lines to death," Audiofile chimed in with, "Check out the percolating Afro-pop vibe of "No Sleep till Nairobi" by S'. The gentle, rolling guitar lines and soulful sax evoke the dreamy feeling of jet lag after a long plane trip," and TGASC and ASM awarded S' with Honorable Mentions in their annual lyric-writing contests.
