The dreamy bittersweet world of Margot & the Nuclear So and So's is the brainchild of singer/songwriter Richard Edwards. In 2004, he formed the eight-piece indie rock collective in his native Indianapolis, naming the band after the Margot Tenenbaum character in Wes Anderson's sophisticated comedy The Royal Tenenbaums. In addition to Edwards' scenic chamber pop sound, Margot & the Nuclear So and So's feature Andy Fry (guitar), Jesse Lee (cello), Emily Watkins (piano), Hubert Glover (trumpet), Chris Fry (drums), Casey Tennis (drums/percussion), and Tyler Watkins (bass). The band's debut album, The Dust of Retreat, was issued on Standard in spring 2005. The picturesque dozen-song set is themed around the musicians' own fancies of Greenwich Village in the 1960s. Playfully ironic, the modest Edwards has also admitted to critics that the bandmembers aim to play how they feel when they're watching Woody Allen films. In November 2005, Margot & the Nuclear So and So's signed with Artemis Records. A remixed and remastered version of The Dust of Retreat was released in March 2006, and the band relocated to the Epic roster while working on their sophomore release the following year.
