Stubborn Persistent Illusions is the first album in eight years by Do Make Say Think, one of the preeminent instrumental rock bands of the 90s-00s. The album is a brilliant addition to one of the most consistently inventive and critically praised discographies in the 'post-rock' canon. Produced and mixed by the band itself, the album is a continuing affirmation of the group's DIY ethos and their singular self-production acumen and aesthetic.
