Ornament and Crime (album)

Ornament and Crime is the seventh studio album by American rock band Self. Originally intended for release in August of 2003, it was pushed back a year to August 2004 until it was delayed indefinitely by the dissolution of Self's label, DreamWorks Records. It was eventually released independently thirteen years later, in August 2017, which also saw the physical release of previously Internet-only B-side album, Porno, Mint & Grime. Prior to this, Ornament and Crime was only legally available via streaming on Self's Myspace and YouTube channels. One of the songs in the album, Out with a Bang was first heard in the 2001 Sci-fi comedy film Evolution
