Self-Titled Long-Playing Debut Album is the debut studio album by American band +/-, released on February 5, 2002, by TeenBeat Records. It was written, performed and recorded almost entirely by former Versus guitarist James Baluyut, with his Versus bandmate Patrick Ramos playing additional drums on the album. Baluyut used the recording of the album to experiment with techniques such as 5-4 time and sampling. Upon release, the album was acclaimed for its fusion of indie rock song structures with electronica production techniques, and it was compared favourably to works by The Microphones and The Notwist. The track "All I Do" was later featured in the soundtrack for the film Wicker Park.
