About this album

Cooking Vinyl (2008) Released: 23 Jun 2008 15 tracks (37:22)
GNV FLA is the seventh studio album by Less Than Jake, released June 24, 2008 through the band’s own label, Sleep It Off Records. Chris DeMakes states that the band “wrote a quintessential Less Than Jake record” and that the album includes “lots of horns and lots of vocals.”

The album’s title is an abbreviation of the band’s hometown, Gainesville, Florida. Corey Apar from Allmusic writes that: “Less Than Jake have essentially created a bittersweet tribute to their hometown of Gainesville, sparing no detail in naming the album GNV FLA, stringing the liner notes together with bleak snapshots of the city, and littering song names and lyrics with nods to both the state of Florida and the beloved college town of their inception.” In the album’s liner notes, the band thank the city, calling it: “the town that inspired the record.”

In an interview promoting the record, saxophonist JR states that when the band were:

“conceptualizing what we wanted to do with the next record, we were like, “We should do what we’ve always done, and do what we do best. I think that’s why we ended up calling the record “GNV FLA’ (Gainesville Florida), because it’s like we’ve come full circle, we’ve come home.”

Similarily, the press release for the album reads:
